Edwardpolley Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 After days of cutting a long, 2 hour movie, I tried to reopen my project to make one more cut. The project opened, but the entire video sequence was gone. The error page that reads, "Error Loading Clip File(s)" came up with no more information. I saved the project many times, under different names, after every major cut, but I have the same problem with every project, except the first one saved. The original file is in the same place. It is not corrupted. I do not know what the problem is, or how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. -ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 This may slow things, but to rule out cache corruption, under OPTIONS|DISK tab press the button to Clear Unused Cache Files. Also look at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardpolley Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Thanks for reaching out. I tried clearing the unused cache files. It didn't work. If you have any more suggestions, I would appreciate it. I worked very hard on this project, and I love it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 None of the files used in the project have been moved? When the error message appears does it prompt to locate the files? You state that the original project will load. Are those the very files that will not load from later VPJ saves of the same project? If that's the case consider uploading the initial VPJ and a subsequent save (that doesn't work) to Dropbox, Google Drive, MS OneDrive or the like. Make it public and link it here. Someone will analyze it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardpolley Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 The original file is on my desktop, where it has always been. When the error message appears, it gives me no options. The original project, with only 2 cuts, will load. It uses the same file that will not load for later projects. I have no clue what the problem could be. Is it possible to make too many cuts on a big file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 So it's a single file that will load initially, but not after repeated saves. What's the format of that file? Can you upload it for inspection? There's no limit on number of cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardpolley Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 The file is a m4v. The original save will open. The subsequent saves will not. I opened a new project using the same file; in this project the file opens. I would rather not upload the file for inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Then, for comparison, consider uploading the original VPJ and a later save that won't load - for analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardpolley Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 I actually just cracked it. If anyone else ever has this problem, this is what I did. I moved the original file to a different location and then opened the project. When the program couldn't find it, it gave me to option to locate it. I hit browse, went to the new location, and it loaded fine. Thanks a million for your time and your help. Now all I have to do is figure out how to format a disk drive to both hold a 4.5G file and play on my TV. But that's a frustrating battle for another day. Thanks again.
