i asked on here which program to use for a video montage and was told to use windows movie maker. i downloaded the program from minitool and invested upwards of 18 hours on it since. i saved it a couple times throughout. now when i tried to save it i get error messages that there are corrupted files and it cannot save. when i try to reopen its hit or miss, and the last version it reverted to is hours ago. my question here is whether this can still be fully recovered or i should cut my losses and start over in another program. any help would be appreciated.
Congrats on the 18hrs spent! Video editing requires hours of work for minutes of content.
(Look up how long it took to make Madagascar)
Let's try to troubleshoot:
Question numbero Uno: Did you change any of the source files?
To be clear: the original clips which you want to paste together - have you renamed/moved/deleted any of them?
Question 2- where were the files stored
Were the source files on your computers hard drive or a removable flash drive or disc? What about the movie maker files?
