Auto Save error. How to save my project?

I am also having the same issue.

This is everything but solved, it seems.

I'm having the same issue and keep losing SO MUCH work. Adobe, why haven't you fixed this? This is ridiculous. 

May 29th, 2021 and I'm having this same exact problem over and over again.  "Auto Save Incomplete" "We haven't been able to automatically save changes to your project in a while.  Please close and re-open to save now and ensure that you don't lose any work."  If I close the program, it freezes (Not Responding) and all of my changes are GONE.  HOURS AND HOURS of work for a time-sensitive project.  This project is days overdue now becuase of this issue.  Certainly Adobe has figured out why we're having this problem, right??!!??  We pay big $$$ because Adobe is supposed to be the "Powerhouse" of all editing software.  This is extremely aggravating!

Extact same issue. ALOT. I get error message and when I go to close project (save), Rush just stops working. I have to force quit which loses anything since last save, Every project I have worked on now fails.  Orginally though maybe too many processes or memory use but I shut down everything but Rush. Same issue.

Also have the same problem. The work gets saved, but I have to close the project a lot, and it takes a long time before it builds up again, so I can keep working.

I'm trying to edit a video for school and I keep getting this message. Like everyone else said, there's no way of anticipating it, and when you do try to follow the instructions and close the project, the program freezes, sits on (not responding) until you click something and then crashes and loses all the work you've just put in. It's extremely frustrating - I've used other video editing programs and was hoping that Premiere Rush wouldn't crash like the others, but I've lost around 20 minutes of work like three times tonight alone.

Just wanted to reiterate I'm having the same exact problem, so Adobe sees it's still not fixed after 3 years.

Hey, same exact thing just happened to me right now. This thread was started in 2018- it's end of March 2021, whenever you see the warning "We haven't been able to automatically save" you're screwed. For me, it was literally saying that over and over for an hour, and my dumb faith in Rush caused me to keep working. Well guess what? It crashed- and I lost an hours worth of work- sound edits, voice over recordings, vanished into thin air.

Why's it not saving? Why does it crash? This app does 10 things, why does it take up 8gb of space? That's as big as premiere pro. Rush doesn't even have a save option- what is the 8gb for? Can the code be more optimized? Maybe if this app was 300mb it wouldn't have as many issues when it's doing any of its 10 features. The only reason i'm using this is the interface is less complicated than premiere. But I keep running into unnecessary issues like this forcing me to go back into premiere. I'm one step away from scrapping this project and restarting it in some mickey mouse app on my ipad cuz its more reliable.

Hello,

I'm going through the same thing and I'm hoping someone can help me. I kept getting the same pop-up that I needed to close it and then re-open it to save it. So I did that and when I re-opened it the project was there but when I clicked on it, it was empty. It looked like if I had started a new project. I don't know where it went or how to get it back. I'm stressed because I had been working on it for more than a month and it was more than an hour long. Adobe Rush has never given me problems before until today and I was so close to finishing it. Thank you for reading.

I also have the same problem. The program crashed my computer during render and when I rebooted there was no sign of the project anywhere. I pressed ctrl-s throughout just in case it did something, even though there was no feedback that it did, but it seems not to have saved. There must be some sort of auto-save backup somewhere, is there not?
