Hello,
I was trying to restore a project. The problem with the project was this:
When I tried to open the timeline (with all the media connected) the preparing for video to display bar went completely jiggy . Jumping from 70% to 9% to 31%, etc.
So I thought to open the project, with no media connected and copy smaller bits of the timeline to a new project and see if this was my work-a-round.
Yes, it was - at least yesterday with half of the timeline and it worked fine.
Today, I am having a devilishly difficult time with the following:
My project file opens fine.
(I have dismounted the drives so that no media is connected.)
I open my timeline.
I can click up and down the timeline. - 2 minutes, 8 minutes, 40 minutes, etc
I can move the timeline around via scrolling.
HOWEVER, as soon as I try to click on the media files I crash. As soon as I try and copy part of the timeline, it crashes.
Hopefully this is a clear explanation. If anyone has any ideas I would be most appreciative. If anyone is available to help troubleshoot on an hourly basis, or can recommend someone, I would be happy to go this route. I just want to get out of this jam, and move on to more productive endeavors!
Thanks in advance
Stephen
