Pro 1.5 timeline screwup

Postby SrgtWilco » Thu Jun 28, 2007 12:14 am

Alright, this is incredibly embarrassing ask for help with, but I seem to be in a dilemma: I was working with some footage and premiere, for some reason, decided not to play it. Just to see if it would do anything, I X'd out of the timeline window. I then, FOOLISHLY, saved over my previous work and restarted the program, and after going through every menu I can think of, I can't get the timeline (and, therefore, my work) back. Does anyone know what I do to get the timeline back up?

What was your footage (format)?

I was trying to re-edit some fresh audio into the "Woolongs for Nothing" AMV - it's a great vid but the audio quality is absolutely awful. I was just doing this as a supplement to another project I had going in the same window/timeline, but that isn't the point. It wasn't a major crash, and it isn't the crash I'm interested in - I just need to know what I do to get the timeline window BACK now that I've apparently closed it.

Ok... misunderstood... thought it crashed and you couldn't retrieve your work...

I'm not actually at a computer that has access to the software right now, but from memory i believe there should be something under one of the tabs on the top - under "window" or some such labeled tab...

Well, after actually thinking awhile, I found a relatively simple solution to my problem: I just went into the auto-save files and loaded what I had from there. The work lost was minimal, but more importantly, I got the timeline back. Thanks for replying anyway...though I would like to know other ways to restore the thing

Um... what about double-clicking on the sequence in the Project Library window?

This should normally do it, yes. :/
