Hi, my Movie edit pro starts playing from beginning whether i like it or not, i have to close the program & re-open it to clear whatever is making it do this, Anybody any ideas why it does this ? it will do this at any time, at the beginning or half way through editing a series of clips,
Try clicking the Optimise icon near bottom right of track area, two small outward pointing arrows.
Next time it does that i'll try that, i think i have already as this has been happening for a while & have tried a lot of things, Thanks 👍

Make sure this is ticked also.

Yep i use that space-bar stops at current position, it's set at that all the time

Hi Gid.
OK then, I agree with Terry that somehow you have managed to place both project markers at the beginning of the project. Pressing the button Terry suggested places them back to the beginning and end.

Hi, this was not long after importing these clips & it was right at the start of editing, i hadn't really done anything apart from add a pic to the the third track & I hadn't set any project markers & none are showing in the vid, as you can see in the preview there are nearly 2hrs of clips, when pressing the two small outward pointing arrows it sets the range markers to full video length giving that movie length shown top right of the preview screen, the preview range does appear as though the range markers are both at the left showing 00:00, but in the timeline range it is at full length, I'll keep an eye on it n see next time it does it, thanks
Just had a play with that, i can't make the range in the preview go to 00:00, it won't let me, I can make it do 00:01 😂

Hi
Enough to force the program to start at the beginning each time though 😉.

Until re-watching the clip i loaded on here i hadn't noticed the range in the preview was at 00:00, It may not have cured the problem but at least now i have something to look for if/when it does it again & may be able to fix it without having to reboot the program, Thanks both of you, 👍

Hi,
When this happens and the other solution doesn't work, use the old standby.
Select all (Ctrl+A), Copy (Ctrl+C), add a new movie by clicking on the + button beside the movie tab above the project window, Paste (Ctrl+V). Try playback. If it works fine (doesn't move the playback marker to the beginning each time), delete the first movie. Save as, and give the project a new revision code.

When you say 'a new revision code.' do you mean a new name ?
@Former user
When something goes wrong or I am making a major change in a project, I do as Save as and change the project name by appending a revision code like "my_project r1.mvp" next time r2, r3, etc. That way, if there is a major crash and even the backups don't work, I can always go back to the last major revision. I do the same if there is a crash and have to use a backup file - I save right away with an appended revision code.

Actually the program prompts you to save under a new name when you load a backup and states the reason - that if you use the old name you will find the list of backups saved for that project is wiped. If the one you have loaded does not contain a good version you cannot try any of the others.
