The situation you described sounds like what would happen, if you'd (inadvertently?) deleted the contents of that sequence, and that deletion was saved into auto-saves. If neither your project nor any of your auto-save'd projects contain a populated sequence, there is no way to recover it.

You also might try a different workspace, from the Window menu, and use a default one, like Edit.

Are you using an external drive

or did you import your footage directly from a SD card?

Welcome to the Premiere Pro forums! We’re happy you’ve reached out. Can you describe what happens, where the files are stored, and which version of Premiere? Did this happen with an update or out of nowhere?

We’ll need a bit more info to try to help with your issue. Please see: How do I write a bug report?

I hope we can help you soon.

That isn't a file, that is a sequence. Sequences only exist as metadata ... they do show with the Sequence icon in the project panel/bin, but they are simply further metadata.

Like project files themselves. Project files and sequences are simply metadata files.
