I have MEP Pro 17+ and have a project I have spent countless hours on...Now when I try to open the existing project I get a large window of information stating I have inconsistencies and that it may be due to codec issues. How do I get my project back?

I have Windows 7 and a Dell PC about 18 months old.

Hi,

You have to use : Restore Points

Click on Start (Flag Windows on the left corner)

Select : All programs, Accessories, System Tools and System Restore

Panel : Restore System Files and settings ---> next

Panel : Restore you computer to the state it was in before the selected event

Check : Show more Restore Points and choose a date with Column Type : Backup

I think you'll have the chance to get a good old version with the entire Project.

My advice about Projects :

Use a single folder (for every specific Project) to save your all files audio, video, pictures... if you have to move your Project it won't miss a file.

Save too your project inside, for example : Project00 and a every important step : save as Project01, save as Project02... Projects aren't big files.

I hope that your recovery will be successful.

Good Luck.

Hello,

Maybe you can try something easier with BACKUP of MEP 17 (Default Options).

In the Menu Bar Click on the Gears (Program Setting) :

Projects ---> C:\Users\Standard User\Documents\MAGIX_Movie_Edit_Pro_MX_Premium

Inside this folder you can find more than one Project saved

MyProject 00_BAK0.MV_

MyProject 00_BAK1.MV_

You can READ or OPEN these files with MEP 17 to get them in the Time Line.

I hope you'll find a good version.

Friendly
