Hi, this is my first time posting here, so if anyone can help, it would be much appreciated
(And if this is in the wrong forum, could someone tell me where to post it?)

I'm using kdenlive on Windows 10, I made a couple of projects already and didn't have too big problems.

Now I'm making a project with a lot of video tracks and the playback kept stuttering. I read that using proxy files helps so I tried to make these. I have 3 clips in the project bin and the third clip, I couldn't get it to make a proxy file, it kept showing an error message.

So I closed the whole project and tried to reopen. This time I got an error message saying "problems found in your project file" and a massive list of "invalid clip producer11 found on track playlist8 at 2159" (and so on but with different numbers).

I clicked ok (the only option) and ALL the clips from the project timeline seem to have vanished - except the ones from the third file (which before I couldn't make into a proxy). I'm really confused as that one now seems to have a proxy file. But all the clips on the timeline from the other two files have completely vanished.

I've spent hours on this project and I can't find any way to salvage it after trawling the forums for fixes, so I'm pretty desperate! I really don't want to have to start again or to have this problem again.... Can anyone help? Thank you in advance!

would you try latest installer? https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Kden ... 64-gcc.exe
i dont' think it can fixes a bad project file... is just a try.

P.S. i don't think that proxy files are solving stuttering playback.
