hi kevin, many thanks for the help and advice nonetheless. appreciate it.
yes it is frustrating. there is so much more i wanted to do with the video but i could not. sometimes it crashes on me, sometimes it hangs. i don't believe my computer's power is insufficient to handle this? i may be wrong. it is unfortunate given that i find it very easy to use. it simplifies so many things now, and is indeed powerful. in the old days, i used Macromedia's Director and it was a pain just to do text effects. Now PD8 simplifies everything. I will contact Tech Support and see what the issue is.
Thanks again everyone for your contribution and advice!
cheers

hi all,
thanks for the replies. sorry for replying late due to time differences.
Cap n Kevin - yes. you got that right. "you attempt to open your Project file( it should have a .pds extension) and all it imports is the finished mpg2 file and you see it placed on the Editing TimeLine?" This is my exact problem. All my edits and effects etc disappeared. this only happens with this one file. My other projects which are much simpler in terms of edits and effects, do not have this problem.
Even with my Autosave files, i open them and all i get is the same mpg2 file in the timeline. I am tearing my hair here. I don't know why only this file is affected. Is it because it's too large?

Hi there,
I just bought and downloaded PD8 Deluxe couple days back.
I used it for a video edit of a company event. Basically, I have about 7 video footages in all. 6 of which are performances for the night. The final one is an edit of the entire night together with photos. I am having some problems with this file.
After editing the entire video with effects, PiP etc and music track, I go to the "Produce" tab and reduce it to an MPG2 file. I save my project and exit. When I re-open PD8 later, all my edits have disappeared and it only loads the MPG2 file which I produced. I don't understand. what happened to my original file with all the timeline data, effects, music etc? It does not even load my media library. This only happens for this large file. The other 6 projects have no issues. I have re-done the project twice and twice it's happened. Grateful if someone could clarify. I know there are autosave files but the funny thing is these files have the same problems.
Strangely, my PDS file sizes are about 1.2MB. which means there is data on it?
thanks in advance.
My system specifications as follows: -
AMD Phenom II 955
Gigabyte MB
4GB Kingston HyperX ram
Corsair 520W Modular PSU
Windows XP SP3
ATI Radeon HD4830 512MB
WD Caviar Black and Green (Total 1TB HDD)
Echo Layla 3G external Sound card
Power Director 8 Deluxe v. 2508
