I was working in a project I hadn't opened for about 6 months. I have updated to 2018 since editing this project. So I have footage from a Sony cam, MOV, 3 of them. They were red media missing in my timeline. So I linked them back to the source file. No, go. Then I look at the files on my hard drive and they've gone from 20 gig files to 200kb files. I thought, oh crap somehow these files got messed up. I wait for a new hard drive from the client, make a copy of the files on my HD. I'm thinking I'm in business. I try linking and zap, there goes the source file again. This is beyond terrifying. Anyone know what's going on? I plan on deleting and reinstalling CC 2018. I hope to encode the original files and replace the current clips in the timeline. But this is very concerning. I will figure something out, but how can Premiere Zap the original files? Everything is suspect! Thanks in advance for any words of advice. I've been using Premiere since the late 90's and I've never seen this!
