Thanks Gerhard, re-importing a clip from the same project I am working in is not something I would have thought of. Eric >>> gerhardk at mac.com 12/8/2003 9:27:18 PM >>> So lets say you cut a section of clip 1 that you later decide you need in your project all you need to do is import clip 1 from the media folder and you have the material you thought was lost back in your movie. Once you empty your trash the only way to reclaim lost parts of clips will be from the source material. With this in mind you should carefully consider whether you are ready to empty the trash or not. Gerhard Kuhn suspice at hay.net
