i am so furious, i put so much work into this project for this client, I have been at this video for a week! I go to finish it up and my entire project is GONE. It is not in my auto saves, no where in my finder (i have a mac), I have followed every youtube tutorial, read every complaint on adobe support community about the same issue and NOTHING! it is as if my project never existed. I NEED THIS VIDEO.

 

If anyone could assist me, that would be awesome thank you.

There is nun, other then autosave

Have a look at Schofield's Second Law:

I realize it won't help now, but it may get you out of trouble in the future.

Where was it saved to on your computer?

Did you try a finder search for the word "prproj"? This should find all the premiere pro projects on your computer that you can scroll through to try and find it. And also, I know this won't help you right now but...., whenever I set up a new Premiere Pro install I always go to Preferences and then to Auto Save and make sure to put a checkmark next to "Save backup to Creative Cloud" so every time my project saves I have two versions. One on my hard drive and one in the cloud automatically.

I picked up on the autosave as i was trying to find my project. I did not save it into my documents because it was not done, but i always saved my work. I know it was saved for a fact becuase i kept going back to the same project and my work has always been there after closing premier pro. I dont know why it wont show up the day i decide to share it but i can not find it anywhere on my finder.

So you know it was saved. But do you know exactly where it was saved? Since you are sure it's gone.
