The clips appear as a white box with a cross

[gonzo2]

I've been working in a big (for me) project of about 89 GB.

I've worked with multiple timelines,

when i've tries to increase the number of timelines above 8 or nine suddenly the program crassed.

I decided to make a copy of the project and I saved it with another name, once I opened the new one I realized that part or all (I've tested it several times) of the trimmed clips that I classified in the project tray became white boxes with a cross on them.

Luckly the original project is still complete but i' affraid it will be corrupted anytime.

The only additional commment is that I have only 83 GB left on mi HDD (I don't know if this has any consequences).

any idea?

Hi
saving it under another name shouldn't cause the loss of contents. Have you tried to open these white boxes with crosses? Maybe these clips need to be re-linked to the originals.

I've only had a complete crash of a large project (large for me that is) once and couldn't recover any of it. Since then I've always saved my larger projects with a copy under another saved name and continually alternate saves to both original and the copy.

Thanks Gra,

If tried to double click and right click to relink but they don't give me any option to relink.

the clips that I loose are virtual clips, that means, I have a large cli that y cut on the timeline in little parts and I copy this little parts in the library (so they are not real clips on my HDD).

When I save with anorther name normally some of them are not accessible and some are is like if the program lost the way for some of them.

The first crash that I talked about in my first post had its origin in the ufclib.dll . Does this tell you something?

thanks in advance,

If the clip is virtual, it is just that: it doesn't exist, so it can't relink. I suggest you make each one a real clip, which you can import into your new main timeline.
