  Retrieving a Deleted Avid Sequence

  Posted by Mahmoud Salimi on February 20, 2011 at 6:05 pm

  I mistakenly deleted a sequence from my project. Tried some online forum discussions to retrieve it, but no luck so far. I will appreciate any suggestions.

  Avid Media Composer 4.2
  Mac Book Pro Intel

  Best,
  Salimi

  Close the application immediately. Find the Attic. Inside it, there should be old version of the bin that sequence lived in. _COPY_ a few of those to your desktop, make sure that their filename ends with ‘.avb’, then open the most recent one in your project. If that does not contain your sequence, close that bin, and open an older version. Repeat until you find your sequence.

  It does. Just not for deleting stuff in bins. For that, it has Autosave and the Attic 😉
