Working on a quick shot of the queen for the COVID film.This shot uses the portrait mode of VoluMax Pro 7 to add some dimensional to her portrait. I also added a few masks to help make the throne and statue more dimensional. It all worked fine and the shot was added to my Premiere Pro timeline.
A problem arose at the end of the workday where the edit I was working on reverted back to a version from two days ago. All files I had added for the last two days disappeared from Premiere Pro and I had to re-add them at the end of the day. In all I had to re-add 12 shots, and I was blurry eyed before I went to bed. I checked the playback to be sure everything worked and re-saved the project. Then I closed it down for the night.
The next morning all my changes were once again lost. This is the type of infuriating issue that can drive a person insane. If I had more hair I would be tearing it out. I searched forums for anyone having a similar problem and it seems this is a known issue and had been happening for years. From all my reading I didn’t see a solution.
I managed to find a version of the film in the auto saved files. I simply opened the file with the largest file size. I am disheartened to work on it more until I figure out what he issue is so it doesn’t happen again. Pam advised me to save the file on my desktop. When I did that all the auto saved files also moved to the desktop.
I am maybe a third of the way into the project and need to move forward. Unfortunately I suspect that before the end of the day my work may again be lost. Adobe has certainly managed to loose my confidence. Should there be an expert in file management out there, I certainly need some help.
