How to go to a previous save of your Adobe Premiere Pro CC project.

So when I was editing, I accidentally deleted half of my video and I didn't know so my project Autosaved and couldn't undo it to get the video files back. I was hoping you can open previous versions of your adobe premiere pro and go back to your project before 1-2 autosaves

There is an auto save folder that contains the auto saves. Pick one of them and see if the deleted video reappears. If you know the time that you actually deleted the footage you can narrow the auto save down more reliably. Then once you have it back, resave the file but give it a new name so you don't get confused.

Here's what happened. I was launching to Premiere Pro and I picked a video that I want to use for slow motion. In the time interpolation, I picked optical flow because it makes your video smooth. I started to render it, and then was done. I saved my project for tomorrow, but when I went back in I saw it has restarted previously to the beginning. This is terrible.

This thread is still fine. Re. the Auto-Save folder [You can find it in the working folder of your project.]

That's if you set it up that way. The location can be changed or set in the default location which I believe is the Documents folder. Look under FILE\Project Settings\Scratch Disks....

      This thread is super old and not useful anymore. There is an auto-saved folder now that is stored locally. You can find it in the working folder of your project. The auto-save folder has all the recent versions that were previously auto-saved. Hope this helps.

          Outside of the auto-save files, the only way to go back a project version is if you're constantly saving to a new version, performing a Save As rather than a normal Save.
