When I close the program after finishing a movie it tells me that the has changed and asks if I want to save it - this seems superfluous since I had saved the final project and have created the resultant movie -which play fine on player. I then created a movie of it successfully. With this project when I was finished with my work I first saved the project. The instructions you can find here: The responder missed the fact that I had already saved/created a final movie and that my main problem is that I cannot open VideoEditor 4 at all.

This time we would recommend to save it as movie. As to your current project file, unfortunately you need to create the project anew. That is why we recommend our users to save the edited movies/slideshows as files rather than as projects. Thus if you change the location of the files or delete the original files, the project becomes corrupted. How can I start VE4? If I rename some other avi to those names will it be happy ? Don The fact is, that you have saved the editing not as video file, but as a project (.vep4), and AVS Video Editor projects do not consist of those files, which you used for editing, but rather of links to those files on your PC. Is this how you think the application should work? (not very friendly). When I tried to open VE4 again to work on a new project it wouldn't open - 'error, can't find file' for each of the small ones then another window 'Abnormal Prog.

Since I had no need for the small videos any more I deleted them.

I combined several small videos and saved it as a new movie. I recently posted this issue directly on the support page ( the AVS response is in red ): Using VE 4.
