Strange Behavior Part 1
About a week I ago I started noticing that when I started up Premiere Pro, the bin that was open when I saved and closed down the night before was not open when I started the project the next day. This is very large project with over 13,000 elements. It didn’t bother me at first because all else seem well and I would just open the bin again. This was not limited to any particular bin but to anyone I had open and closed with at the end of the day. Then yesterday things got scary. I just finished a rather lengthy audio edit in audition and exported the results back to Premiere which went smooth enough. I closed down for lunch. When I started back up premiere pro couldn’t find three audio files. When I looked on the hard drive, the audio elements in the folders were gone? I found them in three new folders marked “Unknown Artist”. Looking at the time of creation it appeared to have happened during the last session. That’s end of part 1, part 2 things become frightening.
I am using Premiere Pro CS6 running on i7-3930K intel, NVIDIA Quadro 4000, 24GIGs RAM and 8GIG G-Tech RAID 0.
Any thoughts? -

You might want to go ahead and post part 2 as well, because both might be tied into the same issue.
That said, I’ve never experienced Premiere or Audition moving files around where I didn’t expect.

To fix the problem with your bins not staying open on restart:
Make sure that WINDOW – WORKSPACE – IMPORT WORKSPACE FROM PROJECTS is checked in PPro. I’ve experienced this same problem and this is the only solution I’ve found.
As far as your audio files getting moved into a folder called ‘Unknown Artist’, I am fairly certain it is either Windows Media Player or iTunes ‘organizing’ your music. Make sure you have any options that mention ‘manage my media library’ or similar turned off.

Thanks for the tip — that fixed my work flow problem but the disappearing files is still a mystery.
