Don't you save your project under a specific name? I.e., did you ever use File->Save or Save as? If not, then I'm afraid that all is lost (if you don't happen to have a backup of the .bcast directory somewhere, that is). If you did save your project, then why don't you just open it via File->Load files? Save backup and Load backup are really just that: to have a backup in case cinelerra crashes; these are *not* intended to save your work permanently. -- Hannes _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
