Everything, including autosaves, is saved in the Cloud. For team projects, there’s no local project file. Last but not least, there is the versioning for team projects feature. Obviously, there must be other alternatives out there, but Dropbox is just what I used. It allows you to restore any version of the file that has been saved previously. Having a good project organization, it should be easy to navigate between sequences if needed.īut what if you don't want to rely on autosave and you still want to be able to restore previous versions you've saved using Ctrl + S (Command + S)? You can use Dropbox for that. This way, you can always open one of the previous sequences and go back in the process within one file. Each time you make a shift (a decision that changes or opens a new stage for the story you are editing), you should duplicate a sequence. After all, it should just be for emergencies and not for going back in the process.įor this purpose, duplicating sequences works pretty well. Having said all of this, it would be best if we’d never need to use autosaved files. By default, it will create the AutoSave folder in the same location as a project. Alternatively, you can define it while creating a project. This is one of the settings of the project and to change it, you just go to File - Project Settings - Scratch discs. For backup, it will also save a copy of that project with its exact name in the AutoSave folder. This is especially useful when you want your autosaves to be created on an external hard drive.

With the checkbox active, Premiere Pro will save the main project file during autosave. If your computer crashes, you need to go to the AutoSave folder and restore the most recent version to your project location. What does it mean? Let’s say that the last time you manually saved the project was 15 minutes ago and you have it to set to a 10 minute Auto Save interval. The new improvement for the 2019 release is a checkbox called "Auto Save also saves the current project" (or "projects" if we already have a few open at the same time). It will always upload the most recent version of the project file to a folder in the Cloud. The moment Premiere Pro creates the 11th autosave, it will delete the first one (and so on).īut what if the disc you’re working on fails? A very useful feature is saving the backup project to your Creative Cloud account. Let's say we set the maximum number to 10. Also, you can set a maximum number of project versions that Premiere Pro can create. You just go to Edit - Preferences - Auto Save and set the value in minutes. Most people know that you can set Premiere Pro to save your project automatically with a given interval (for example, 10 minutes). I figured this is a great opportunity to learn everything there is to learn about autosaving in Premiere Pro.
