Does Rush Autosave when it isn't synced to the Cloud?

I understand that turning ON sync to the cloud will autosave the project but, if turned OFF sync and placed in LOCAL machine will it save automatically, or do I have to share >  export> to save area >  every single time I want to save my projects.

Hi Pablo,

Rush auto-saves regardless of whether a project sync is enabled. A variety of actions trigger the app to save immediately, including importing or deleting media, adding a title, and of course closing a project.

Sharing/exporting is completely distinct from saving the project file. The purpose of exporting is to create a video file that you can play in a video player like QuickTime or post to a video site like YouTube. The project (which, again, gets saved automatically) is where Rush saves your sequence(s) that consist of a series of source clips and other assets that you've trimmed and perhaps applied various effects to like color correction and speed changes. A project is a living document that you can return to and revise any time.

Whereas the file produced by exporting can be played in many other programs and on myriad websites, your projects can be viewed and edited only in Rush (or Premiere Pro, if you decide to take advantage of that program's more extensive, sophisticated, and flexible set of features.)

For a video project in RUSH: I am not seeing the work I do on my laptop, synched with my desktop. Yes both accounts are operating from the one email address.

 

Any thoughts?

I restarted my computer and now my projects are gone. If Rush autosaves regardless of synching, where are my projects?

I am new to this  - and wont be staying long either!!!!

 

Was trying to learn Rush

 

I have lost 3 important pieces of work when an external drive crashed and died.  Dont know where the files are (have searched extensively)

 

this is not intuitive at all!  Things are hard enough at the moment
