Or are the cache files only simply to do with the preview playback?

Thoughts that have come to mind is possibly somehow replacing some current cache files with the ones I have saved in an attempt to get VideoPad to open the cache files I need.

Yes when the "Restore Previous project" didn't come up I loaded the most recent project in hopes that somehow it was there and had overwritten this project to it. Nope, it was my previous project that I had completed. Here is my biggest issue right now. At any given time, if the program crashes or my PC were to turn off, VideoPad will ask if I want to restore the previous project upon restarting the program. It has happened to me many many many times. This time it didn't ask me that! The one single time that it didn't ask me that was when my project was full of intense cuts which were all perfectly time matched to the music. I can redo this procedure for some of it but after even 2 hrs of trying to restart this project I cannot get it like it was! It is like making a puzzle, then trying to replicate all the pieces in the exact same shapes again. Of course I save my projects in between sessions but I don't save them while I am working on them. I simply left the computer for a little bit when it decided to restart for some reason. (Autoupdates are turned off) Wouldn't there be some way to use my 1.9gb of cache files? I saved them to a separate folder now in hopes that I can do something with them.

Hey, I am running VideoPad v5.20 Last night I was working on a project that had a LOT of edits with clips timed to the music. There were about 4 different source files. I was just over 2 minutes into the video editing timeline with cuts and splices about every 10 seconds or so. I had been working on this for hours and fell asleep. When I woke up my PC was restarting and I couldn't do anything to stop it. It was updating something I do believe although my windows auto update is turned off. In past versions of the editor it would ask to restore my project if any crashes happened but this time there was no queue to load auto-saved project. I have found the cache files with the appropriate time and dates on them for the project but can't figure out any way to load them back into videopad. Are these cache files now useless or how can I restore them into a videopad project?
