Hi everyone,

Would like to know how reliable Premiere's autosave is.

Just today a person near me was working on Premiere when it crashed.

I don't use Premiere, so I googled up to check if there is an autosave feature. As expected, there was, and I watched a 2 minute video about it. I then proceeded to look through the D Drive and opened the Premiere Auto Save file but it didn't do its work. The latest save was in 2021, for another project file. Does Premiere autosave really work? Was it user error?

Premiere Pro user here.

Installed the program and the AutoSave folder was already in the directory. Started working on my first project, a wedding ceremony video, and got all the tracks laid out and the audio lined up and all during the building of the timeline the autosave would pause what I was doing to make a save. I would then click save myself because I didn't trust it. But about five minutes later, after adding in some color corrections, the program crashed. Luckily it had auto-saved about two clips worth of editing before it crashed. Opened back up okay, everything I had done up until the autosave was there.

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience!
