Videos disappeared
I was working on my video, when suddenly the video disappeared. The audio track is fine, but even when I export the video doesn’t do anything. The video appears fine in my bin but when I went to relink, while it came back playing the video, it started from the beginning, not where I made the edits. Any idea what caused this?

I’m confused. Can you explain in more detail?
Also, which version of Premiere and PC or MAC?

Oops, Premiere Pro CS 6 for PC running 64 bit Windows 7. I always forget that.
I had videos from two sources in my project, one taken with my Canon D60 (or similar) in .mov and one from a different .mov. I did a lot of my editing, saved it, and the film from the canon was just black, but still had audio, and the generic footage showed perfectly. But the camera footage still appeared in the bin, so I right clicked and replaced with footage from bin, but that replaced the footage at the beginning, getting rid of all my edits. It did work though, and brought back the video.
The only thing that I did in between saves was import an Adobe Illustrator file, but I’ve never had problems with that before.
Thankfully, I pathologically save all the time, with new names, so I had a very recent working backup (all of my backups had the video correctly showing). But I can’t figure out why it did that.

I’m not sure why that’s happening but one of my go to fixes for that kind of stuff is re-encoding the raw video file into something different or more friendly for your editing software. What are you editing on?

For media related quirks like this, I find a good place to start is to find your Media Cache folder and your Preview Files folder. Go into each one and delete all the files. Then boot up PrP and let it index all the files before you start using it.
See if that helps.
