    Using adobe premiere cc and after effects cc

    I have a problem. Dynamic linked my finished premiere pro project to after effects. Made my changes in after effects, but now the audio is spliced, jumbled, rearranged, and randomly placed upon export. Went to premiere pro, the audio is all spliced and rearranged too. Went to my auto saves, all of them corrupted the same way. 4-5 weeks work all gone. I thought auto-save meant you could go back to a previous version of the project and just use that if a problem occurs. Didn’t realize autosaves don’t actually do this.

    Anyways, I’ve searched this forum and some guy named Todd seemed to find the solution in a thread where a guy had something called “garbled audio” and he recommended clear the cache and apparently this somehow reverted his audio to how it was before he dynamic linked the project.

    I’m almost certain after effects screwed this up.

    Anyways, I went to clear my cache since it seems like the only solution (a few other times I searched audio issues this was the solution as well) however for me the cache doesn’t even exist?

    They’re supposedly here:

    But when i go there i see this:

    As you can see from the images…where premiere pro says the media cache files and media cache are do not even exist when i look for them in the exact location (library/application support/adobe/common/) however when i browse in premiere itself they are miraculously there. Why do the folders not even look alike or files not appear where they are supposed to? I can’t clear my cache because I cannot find it at all and I really need to try this (i already clicked clean cache database and that did nothing because when i open the browsed folders they are full of stuff i can’t find myself)

    What is going on here? The folders don’t even look the same even though they are the exact same folder/location I’m being told to go.

    Just found it actually, clearly my comp is having issues. Problem is all this did was erase my media previews from premiere, and left my audio mangled. Clearing the cache did nothing. What can I do to restore the proper fade in/fade out points and positioning in the timeline of my audio. Audio pieces are scattered all over the wrong places in the time line, out of sync with the video, and the fade in fade outs are not something i can magically get exact again without practically restarting since i have audio on 12 different channels all screwy now. What a waste of 1 month.
