A freelance videographer has filed a class action lawsuit against Adobe on behalf of mortified users that watched their files vanish due to a bug in video-editing software Premiere Pro.

The lawsuit was filed in a California district court last week by Dave Cooper. He alleges that an update to Premiere Pro came with a flaw in the way it handles file management that resulted in the deletion of 500 hours of video clips that he claims were worth around $250,000.

Adobe has acknowledged the bug and issued an update, so you might want to make sure that you’re on the latest version of Premiere. Cooper claims that he upgraded to Premiere Pro 11.1.0 in April of last year.

The bug did not go unnoticed in the Adobe community, and forum users reported similar issues and warned each other about the bug.
