Hermann has summarized quite well what could have gone wrong and under which circumstances there's a chance to salvage some of your work. Let me stress one thing one more time: "Save backup" and "Load backup" ARE NOT MEANT TO SAVE YOUR PROJECT. Use "Save" and "Save as" regularly. "Load backup" is really only meant to be used after Cinelerra crashed (and I see no use for "Save backup"). -- Hannes _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
