I produced a final rendered version of my edit of a project, I could no longer find an editable copy of that draft edit to work on. maybe it was there but I could not find it. Can some one please advise me of the best protocol for saving the project edit so not to loose it if a produced and rendered. Thanks for any time you spend on that. Paddy

Append number1 to the filename and increase that number by 1 each time you do a save as on the project. Say pds file 50 don’t work. You can then use 49. You no longer have to rely on one pds file. You have many to choose from.

You may be able to find a eariler pds file in Auto Save.

It is a Hidden location. Change your Folder Options to show Hidden folders and files.

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\CyberLink\PowerDirector\15.0\Cache\AutoSave\

Next time add a incrementing number to the filename and save the project as, in a folder of your choice.
