No projects in Premiere Pro or Auto Save file

[David25067374pb0k]

Good morning community!  I opened Premiere Pro this morning and none of my projects are there. I checked my Auto Save file and nothing has been saved there since April.  I worked on a project yesterday and I saw it auto save but everything is gone this morning.  Can anyone help me get my projects back?

Do a *.prproj search on your computer.

Are you working from an external drive?

FAQ: When to use "Save A Copy," or "Save As," or just "Save".

Thanks Ann!  I found all my files when I did the search you suggested with my external hard drive connected.  I'm just not sure why all my projects were on Premiere Pro one day and gone the next.  Either way I'm all set thanks to you.

Beware: external drives can be tricky.
