Project glitched / disappeared after crash?

[SleepyZoop]

Hey there!

I have a big project I was working on that crashed. I can't seem to get it back to how it was before.

All it shows me is a completely empty timeline, as if I opened a new file.

My project assests are still in the folder, but I can't open "Sequence 01", as I've seen that fixed the issue for other people.

I do not have Cloud Saving turned on, but I did close the project a couple of times before, so it should have previous save points, if that's how that works...

What do I do? I spent hours on this 😞

Hi @SleepyZoop,

I read your note. You crashed and lost work. That is terrible news. I'm not sure what happened there or why you can't restore a project you have previously had versions for. What actually happens when you click "Sequence 1" now? If you have a premium subscription, have you tried opening the project on a different device? Sorry about this issue. Let us know any details.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hey Kevin 🙂 

Thank you so much for your quick reply.

I can't click "Sequence 1" at all, actually. Or, at least it does nothing. If I click on the three dots the only options I have are to copy it or rename it. I already tried to copy it and then use the copy, but that didn't work either. The other options (like "open") are greyed out. 

I unfortunately do not have a premium subscription...

Regards,

Zoop

Hey Kevin

Step 1-4 did unfortunately not change anything.

As for step 5: Rush Beta? Is it a new program I have to download? Where do I find this? (I'm on Windows if that changes anything...)

Thank you again for trying to help me 🙂

Rush Beta can be downloaded to your desktop computer from the Creative Cloud app. Look for the beaker icon in the left column of the app. I hope that helps.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hey Kevin!

I apologize for the late reply, it was quite late over here.

I've tried using the Rush Beta but unfortunately it was the exact same on there as it was on the normal Rush app... 😞 

I really hope there's other things I can try out to get this resolved.

Hey Kevin!

Thanks so much for your help again, I really appreciate it.

Support told me to buy the paid version / upgrade my plan... Which unfortunately did not solve anything so I suppose it's a lost case. 

Thank you again 🙂
