This has been driving me crazy. I decided to test out Adobe Productions and there are some good things about it. But for some reason randomly projects creates a recovered clips folder and moves all my media to this folder. I have a project within my production that houses all my episodes, mainly just my sequences. I have another project that houses all my sound fx and music. So for example I will create an edit using music that I pulled from the Music project and lay it into my sequences. Next time I open the production all the music and its instances in my timeline have been moved to a folder called recovered clips in my sequence and I have to manually relink all my edits to originate from their original source. This is driving me crazy. Does anyone know Productions does this?

Mr. Default User,
See if Paul's tutorial helps: https://www.thepremierepro.com/blog-1/tag/recovered+clips
Multicamera sequences, and merged clips can exacerbate this issue.
Thanks,
Kevin

No this is only happening with the new Productions project type released last year.

@default3r96fcl4u214 Something's not right there, you shouldn't be having recovered clips being created. In your example, is the project with music and sound fx also inside the same production folder as your episodes project?

Yes it is all in the same Productions.

@default3r96fcl4u214 Thanks for the follow up. Could you go into more detail regarding how you "create an edit using music that I pulled from the Music project and lay it into my sequences."? If you could list out each step that makes this happen maybe I can identify why, or, reproduce on my system. Thanks.

Matt I'm seeing 'recovered clips' regularly. I have heaps of 'source' projects in the production but only a few clips seem to end up in the 'recovered clips' folder. I suspect *some* of them are where the app has a beach ball or needs a force quit when the edit project has saved but the source project hasn't. But not all of them.
One clip that seems to regularly end up there is one of the dual system audio clips that make up a multicam sequence.
Very tricky to track down what might cause it/replicate. If you've anything you'd like me to try...
