Project i worked on for 15 hours disappeared after safe launch

[janar_8773]

As i was working on my project, my after effects suddenly crashed. So i reopened it and it gave me the opportunity to launch it on "safe mode", so i clicked on it. After that, i realized all my projects were gone. Pay in mind i have my auto save on every 20 minutes so no clue how the folders could have just disappeared on its own

The auto save feature was set to every 20 minutes and the save path was set to "next to project"

I have used boris plugins but i uninstalled them. Though i recall that everytime i opened that project in the past. it would claim that some projects were missing. Perhaps the safe mode had deleted the files because of that?

Hi @janar_8773,

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble locating your projects. Can you do a search for the ".aep" extension? Have you looked in your Auto Save folder? Let us know.

Thanks,
Kevin

I understand you don't have your Auto-Save, what about your project file? Can you reopen it in After Effects?

Does it show in the Open Recent menu?

Let us know if you found it, please.
