Final Cut Project empty with a Library of 16 Go

I already had this problem. I had to use Time Machine :

by adding an older Time Machine library it never worked, then I wiped my entire computer and went back to a few days old. After that everything was working again.

I continue my project again, being careful that everything is saved before leaving.

And today I have the same problem again, my project is empty with 16 GB of value.

Final Cut version 10.2.2

iMac OS Sierra version 10.12.6

Someone can help me please ?

The browser is empty if you highlight Projects?

If there are no Projects displayed when you highlight Projects, maybe you were editing inside a Clip? This is a common mistake. Look for a Clip with the approximate duration of the timeline you were working on.

Command-N or File->New->Project

I strongly recommend that you take some time and follow the free course at izzyvideo to get more familiarized with the application. It could have saved you from the present problem and it can help be more productive and more confident sooner.
