How to get back deleted items in Adobe Premiere Pro
Sometimes you want to get back deleted items in Adobe Premiere Pro because you changed your mind or you accidentally deleted something and noticed it way later.
But you can only click “undo” 32 times… or?
How to get back deleted items in Adobe Premiere Pro
As you might know, you can click “cmd + Z” to undo or go to the “History” window to visually view your latest actions (with the latest one at the bottom) and “go back in time” to undo them.
However, there is a limited amount of steps that you can go back and if you look at the bottom of the “History” window, you’ll notice that it stops counting at that number (32 by default) and starts replacing the oldest actions in the window.
But there are 2 ways to change this.
One is to click the little hamburger menu at the top of the “History” window, click “Settings” and increase the number to 100 which is the maximum amount. Or?
There is a way to set this to 999 and I’m not 100% sure it still works and it could potentially affect performance so I don’t necessarily recommend this, but this is how you do it:
Navigate to Finder > your computer > your harddrive > Users > your name > Documents > Adobe > Premiere Pro > the version you are using and in the folder Profile, open the “Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs” document in a text editor.
Now, click “cmd + F” to search for any word in that document, write “undo” and change “MaxLevels” to 999, close the document, and restart Premiere Pro.
