Cannot open project

Post by erlisa »

Hi,

I'm using MovieFactory 4. I tried opening my project file but received an error message "Project Initialization failed". Any idea how I can solve this?

I've been working on the project for quite a while now but don't know what caused it to fail. I've got no problems opening my other project files
though.

Any kind soul, pls help ...

Please tell us something about your file format, and how you captured it. The Read This First... post at the top of the forum tells you what we need to know in order to help you.

All of my "weird" problems have been caused by corrupt source-video files, or by editing MPEGs. (Sometimes a corrupt file will play-back OK, and MPEGs aren't really supposed to be edited.)
