Location of stored session file PPRO CS3
I opened a session I had been working on for a couple weeks, and suddenly all the bins are missing in that session. I haven’t started editing yet, I’ve been importing and capturing video, audio, and pictures for the past couple weeks in preparation for starting to edit. Now it appears the entire bin structures are gone. I didn’t notice that they were gone, and I added 3 more bins, which came out bin14, 15, 16, which were re-named to what I was needing…
I know that PPRO saves incremental backups every so often, and I’d like to recall of them to attempt to recover all the media that was cataloged into bins, by recalling one of the earlier backup files, rather than start over importing video, music, and pictures and the rather complex bin structure again all over again.
But as luck would have it, I’ve forgotten where these incremental backups are being stored…. PPRO CS3 on a PC.
All the media still resides on the drive, but the bin structures (13 bins), and pointers to the files, have all disappeared….
Rather than to open the project again and wildly search, I believe it would be safer to post this and wait for direction where the backups are stored, and recall one of them….
Thanks!!! Jan

I’ve found the missing bins and pointers, and discovered other things I’ve not know before.
I seem to have gotten the Main project folder pointing to a folder other than the project I was in. I clicked on the “take me up one folder” right above the project name, and the project folder returned to the bins I was searching for. This was the main project folder that was highlighted, not a floating (Doubleclicked) project folder. I clicked on the ‘take me up one level” and the origional “Missing” bins re-appeared. Of course I then had to find the new bins, which were in another bin.
Methinks I saved and exited a previous time while inside one of the bins, not main program bin level. MY BAD!!!
However, in my travels to discover this, I did find that:
If you inadvertantly remove the project window in the session you ware working on, and then load another session, or make a new one, you don’t get the project window in a new or saved old session. That got my attention!

Just reset the workspace. It figured you did it on purpose. But resetting it works fine. Or, just doubleclick on a sequence in the Project panel and you will get what you need.
