To automatically save a project or series of projects:
1
Choose Edit > Preferences > Auto Save.
2
Do any of the following, and then click OK:
•
Select Automatically Save Projects, and type the number of minutes after which Adobe
Premiere Pro will save the project.
•
Type a number for the Maximum Project Versions to specify how many versions of each
project file you want to save. For example, if you type 5, Adobe Premiere Pro saves five
versions of each project you open.
To open a project file created by the Auto Save preference:
1
Close the project if one is open.
2
Choose File > Open.
3
Locate and open the file in the folder My Documents/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Pro/7.0
Adobe Premiere Pro Auto-Save. (If no files are available, the Auto Save preference may be
turned off.)
Correcting mistakes
If you change your mind or make a mistake, Adobe Premiere Pro provides several ways to
undo your work. You can undo only those actions that alter the video program; for
example, you can undo an edit, but you cannot undo scrolling a window.
To correct mistakes:
Do one of the following:
•
To undo the most recent change, choose Edit > Undo. (You can sequentially undo any
recent changes made to the project in any Adobe Premiere Pro window. The number of
changes is limited only by available memory.)
•
To jump to a specific state of the project since the project was opened, select an item in
the History palette. See
“Using the History palette” on page 54
.
•
To undo all changes made since the last time you saved the project, choose File >
Revert.
•
To undo changes made before the last time you saved a project, try opening a previous
version of your project in the Premiere Auto-Save folder, and then choose File > Save As
to store the project in a location outside of the Premiere Auto-Save folder. The degree
to which you can go back depends on the Auto Save preference settings. See
“Saving a
project manually or automatically” on page 43
.
•
To stop a change that Adobe Premiere Pro is processing (for example, when you see a
progress bar), press Esc.
•
To close a dialog box without applying changes, click Cancel.
•
To set all values in an applied effect back to the default values, click the Reset button
for the effect in the Effect Controls window.
