My first inclination is that there might be a big problem with the incorrect framerate being used, but it could also be a host of other issues. If you try to create a new project, what happens? If the new project has problems you've done something or installed something that caused a conflict. If it works fine than your project file has most likely been corrupted.
Whenever I open up a new project file with premiere elements it works fine, as well as if i work on a different project than that one. Also, when i tried that project file on a different computer it seemed to work fine minus the footage not being there. Also, concerning the framerate problem, Premiere Elements absolutely refuses me to change the settings no matter how many new projects I open or how many boxes and drop down menus I try to check, uncheck, or change. Should I reinstall the program and see if I did something wrong in the installation process?
Also, I haven't installed any new codecs, but I have windows vista and around 8 hours before the file stopped working vista did one of its "automatic updates." I don't know how this would effect one single video file, but last time it did one of these "updates" Audacity refused to open for me ever again (I had to download the beta for the new version). Could this possibly have something to do with it? If this is the problem, I'm kind of screwed because the earliest system restore point on my computer is a day after this problem began -_-'. Any help is greatly appreciated, because I really need to start a new contest AMV right away if it looks like this isn't going to work. Thank you!
