Where did everything go on my timeline?

Okay, I'm a newbie.  Been watching vids all day, but I'm still confused -- and now panicking, actually.

 

I was going along fine for the last hour, adding stuff to a timeline and even having some success with effects.

 

Suddenly my timeline was gone.  Don't know what I did. But the timeline area was blank.  I toggled, only to find timeline containing stuff I had worked on three days ago.  But no sign of my current timeline that I was working on no matter what view I chose.

 

How do I get back to the timeline I was just working on which had  multiple clips on it?  I can find all the clips and stuff, but I'd hate to have to start compiling them all over again?   Where does the stuff reside when it's sent to the timeline?  How can I find it?

Premiere's 'native' organization skills aren't exactly legendary. And it tends to put sequences 'above' the bin you were in when you created them ... except of course, for when it doesn't.

 

So ... learn the sequence icon, you can see that quickly in the List view. Many editors like putting their sequences in one sequence bin. Some leave them at 'top' folder level for the project. And some put them with the folder tree of media that are used on them.

 

All good. But ... it's a user choice thing. And again, Pr can be odd at times.

Okay, I found it again.  It's saved with the word 'sequence,' naturally enough.

 

But for some reason it does not show up in the bin that I was working with to create it.

Thanks, Neil.  I think it's the organizational part that throws me a bit.  Right now I have projects named one thing, bins named another, sequences with yet another name, and none of the names are necessarily indicative of what they contain.  And, of course, when Premiere doesn't store things where I expect them to be, that doesn't help either.  But I appreicate your input in keeping me on track.  Think I just need to relax and keep watching tutorials now.
