Question

Re-locating the videos I deleted

I was working on an Adobe Premiere Pro project, and while I had the video clips in the software, I deleted the original clips in the file, somehow thinking that would be okay. I came back to adobe premiere to find that it doesn't actually show the clips if they're not found in files. Can someone help me locate them back in Premiere Pro? I mean I clicked undo really fast after I realized it was a mistake, and I have all the clips back in my files.

Premiere doesn't embed the media into a project, it only references your files on your hard drive, as you've discovered. If you  have the original files back in place, you should be able to open Premiere and follow the prompts to reconnect your media. If you're not getting that you can right click the media (select it all, or even the bin that it was in if it was in a bin) and choose Link Media. You should get the option to navigate to where the media was saved, and there's also a search option.
