From: Charles in Burbank - film capital Charles in Burbank - film on 8 Mar 2010 23:33 I edited a film into two pieces removing a part that was poor. I saved the first half as part 1 and the second as part 2. Later I returned and tried to load the two parts and combine. I cannot load - I load part 1 and then part 2 which removes part 1. It would seem that files would upload normally and allow for combining, but I can not get it to happen. I do not find any part of the program intuitive. Help was no help; I tried holding down the shift key, etc Help please

If you reopen the ..mswmm files one at a time and save in the ..wmv movie format...you can then import the two .wmv files, drag them to the timeline and save as a single movie file. To save as a .wmv movie file... Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard / Choose...My Computer / Next / Enter a Name and a Save Location / Next / Tick...'Best Quality For My Computer' Next/ Wait while the movie is saved / Finish... -- J.

From: Todd W Todd on 9 Mar 2010 20:14 Thanks John, I had the same problem as Charles and with the technique you described I was able to import my saved project. The only problem is that the imported project is now in 17 parts instead of the one whole that I saved. Any ideas??

On the 'Import File' screen...uncheck the box: 'Create Clips For Video Files'. BTW...the number of clips on the Timeline is not an issue when 'Saving Movie File'... the result will be a single movie file. -- J.
