As I was developing a blooper reel from a bunch of .MOV clips, I encountered a problem. As I tried to make a copy of my project via FILE> SAVE PROJECT AS, I got this error: My screen is black, my audio absent, and I have an option to "Click here to browse for videos and photos" where my clips should be located. This is true for both my original file and now my new saved project. I have clicked the browse option to see if that helps. As it tries to load the new clip in (Must be over 10 seconds), I get the "Movie Maker has stopped working" pop up before it crashes.

Just to be clear, this is not a yellow triangle issue. I have not moved my clips from their original folder. Yet, it looks like the rendering clock comes up over all of my clips before it crashes. They have already been rendered, clipped and inserted.

What can I do to retrieve my video?
