.. . . .Are you saying that they deleted any effort on a product that I paid good money for because they have a new product for sale? . . . .
The length of support for Magix products as well as many other software manufacturers follow a set timetables.
MEP 16 is five years old, computer operating systems and computers have changed significantly since then.
Maintaining support for old versions is neither practical nor, with the rapidly changing hardware desireable.
IIRC Magix support is limited to the current version plus three previous versions.
. . . . Selecting 'default' had no effect. I "save As' and it shows under new prograns , but after leaving site and re logging it is not there. . . . .
I realize that Magix isnt going to support an old system. Im asking if anyone knows why the program wont save a new movie/project.
To answer your question, I found a 'return to default' button and pushed that but it had no effect on the problem ( I was thinking that I inadvertantly hit something causing this problem)
I has started a new movie , spent about an hour, and when Ii was finished for the day I attempted to save it. I clicked "save As " and gave a name. It showed when I looked in "new Projects", etc. When I logged back on several hours later , there is no record of the work that I had done. I tried several other attempts ( just putting in 2 or 3 pictures in to timeline) again saved, and again they did did show as having been created).
The only project that I see is the last movie that I created in 9-2013.
