I saved my project under a new name a couple of days ago. I've done alot of changes and now i don't have a work area bar. I want to export just the work area but the slide bar had vanished. Anybody know what's going on with that?

Sounds like something's gone all ropey about your Premier installation. I doubt it's related to your project.

You might want to uninstall, then reinstall Premier to see if the problem resolves. It also could be an issue with your display driver, although I think it unlikely. Updating the driver would be a good thing to do regardless.

Zoom out alot or add a lot of video to the sequence...it probably just got shifted over

Have you tried resetting your Workspace? Window > Workspace > Reset Current Workspace.

All else fails..delete everything in your adobe folder under documents

i zoomed out alot and it's still not anywhere. I reset workspace and nothing :( If I cut and paste the project into an old saved point where i had the slide bar, will it work? I have captured fresh video and edited it into the sequence since i saved / renamed. Where is my slidebar lol

For some reasone it was minimized. After expanding all the way out and searching every inch i found it. I love you guys!!!!!!!

You can set work space area just by doubleclicking the area it usually occupies :) It sets the work area to the zoom level you see.
