It would help if you could post a screenshot of what your timeline looks like with the missing #1 track. I'm also not clear on what you're calling "tabs," but they aren't related to autosaves. Are you using Nested Projects? Are any of your clips stored on removable drives?
You can set the autosave folder and frequency of saves from the Preferences > Project screen. If you want to quickly go to the default folder, select the entire current folder name in the box to the left of the Browse button and copy it, then open File Explorer. Paste the folder path in the main box above the drives to see the folder's contents.
You'll have to keep going back through the autosaved versions until you find one that opens all the way. You may want to turn off shadow files if you've got them enabled. That may allow you to open up more project versions.
Thanks for the speedy reply,
As you can see in the attached pics:
Pic #1. The "tabs" I refer to run along the top of the timline box. Every time I open the project to work on it if I hit save the "Save As" box opens rather than just overwriting the file. So, I simply resave over the original file but it creates another tab. The editable tab is furthest right.
The red circle on the timeline indicates where the missing #1 vid track was and ought to be but is now gone. The project I'm working is the circled one above and its thumbnail shows.
Pic #2. Shows the next tab to the left. As you can see, it shows as a .pds on the timeline but is not editable. If I double-click on it the program freezes. None of the all menu editing options are grayed out. There are 14 of these tabs altogether at this point.
None of the autosave files will open. I shut off shadow files as you suggested and have my autosave set at 10mins with temp file deletion at 3 days. I run single previews at High, Normal or Low res and otherwise keep overhead down as my rig is a little dated. I disable any tracks I'm not working on or don't need to see or hear at the time. I keep all other programs closed while I work, especially graphics.
My rig:
Win 10 Pro-64: Build 1909
Intel Core2 Quad 9650 @3ghz
8gb DDR3 at 1333
Nvidia GTS 450 w/ 1gb GDDR5
SB X-Fi audio
I run it lean and know what it can do and don't overtax it. I built it 10 years ago and it's held up remarkably well. Will build another later this year.
Thanks again.
Mark
