TVP saves empty Projects

[m-ries]

Hello everyone,

since yesterday I have a huge problem. Whenever I save a Project and re-open it, the file is empty.
I could solve the Problem by creating a new config file via startup panel, but sadly all of yesterday's work seems lost.
I tried if I could open yesterday's files with the new config, but they indeed seem empty.
I can recreate the issue by moving back to the old config file – does not make any difference whether I create a large Project, e.g. by importing long sequences and then save, or just drawing a few frames. Also, it does not make any difference to just create the file by saving once or to save multiple times after – the file stays at around 4 mb in size and does not change.

Has this problem ever happened to you? Is ist possible to solve it in an other way than creating a new Config file (I would love to avoid the work of restoring all my brushes and custom panels) and what can I do to prevent this in the future?
This is the second time since summer I am having a severe problem with saving; last issue was the thing about TVP freezing in "save as" dialogue.

I am using TVP Pro 11.5.0-64bit on Mac OS Catalina

Best regards and stay safe

Hello Matthias,
What is the average weight of the saved files? Is there nothing in the Project tab as well?

Hi Dean,

haha, you had a good point there

Sorry, I looked everywhere but forgot to check the project tab – spontaneous blindness
Still a bit weird:
What TVP seems to do is creating another Clip besides the one I was working on.
When I re-open the document all I see is the empty clip, but when I check the project tab I see the original clip containing my content, second to the empty one.
What's funny about this is that the empty clip seems to be created automatically when saving – I double-checked and before saving it does not exist.
Any idea?

Thanks so far! I was so stressed that I really oversaw this ^^
