All my transitions vanished!
I am finishing a 1 hour doco on Premiere 2.0 and this morning when I opened it all my video AND audio transitions wern’t there… NONE! And there were plenty, especially hundreds of audio crosfades. Luckily it is going into audio post so that can be repaired and luckily I had an avi of the offline so I set up a side by side comparison and re-made all the video transitions… seems its yet another thing I can’t trust anymore.
Now has anyone else experienced this? Interestingly enough there is not a command within Premiere to delete all transitions I don’t think… or is there a secret key command for debugging Adobe never removed when they compiled the final release?… I am just trying to remove the thought of ‘operator error’!!!!

My friend I feel for ya, that’s one hell of extra work.
I can tell you that, from working with Premiere 2 for a while now, disable “Autosave”.
I also am now saving to a different incremental filename every half hour or so.
I know that might seem like a pain, but that will save you a huge amount of time when something gets corrupted on a large project.
Well at least no more than a half hour of work 😉
A finally, don’t run any other Adobe apps in the background unless you really have to, and close it when you are done.
That’s all the advice I can give you.

Vince,
Curious as to why you recommend disabling autosave?

I also have Autosave disabled because it can save “errors” or stages in the workflow that you do not want and it is demanding on system resources that may be needed elsewhere while I edit.
I have a CTRL-S habit and I keep a backup copy of the project that I regularly save to (on major chnges or every half hour – whichever comes first).
The dissapearing transitions issue from the OP is a mystery and I can not even think of a way to do it if I wanted to.
(Maybe some render files got deleted).

It happened again!!!! and now I know what does it.
If you use the multitrack tool (M) and type in (eg) +200 (2 seconds) the track moves down 2 seconds and ALL transitions in the selected block get deleted. But if you use the multitrack tool and just drag the track down the transitions remain.
I use SHIFT_M (all tracks) a lot and of course going +200 caused all the transitions to go. So I suppose now I will just drag and avoid using offset entries. Incidently this is a new feature in PPro 2 being able to offset move timeline items; just click on any clip and type in +200 or -200 and it moves forward or backward 2 secs which caught me by surprise because I always use to use it to move the CTI to a specific offset so now I have to deselect any clips before I can do it (the same applies to the new HOME/END functionality…)
Anyone else confirm this? This has gotta be a bug right?
