Windows 10: My windows movie maker project crashed and all the videos are missing

Hi


I am using Windows Movie Maker 12. I have been working on a project for the last 5 days. I have always saved it and keep saving it occasionally. Once in a while it crashed but then when I opened it the project restored and I saved it again. But, this time it crashed and when I opened again, it did not come up with the option to restore it!!! The only thing that it showing up in the project are some of the titles. All the video clips and the music files are gone. Have I lost it all? It was many many hours of work and I was close to publishing it. Can you please help me to restore it, please? This help will be a life savior. Thank you.

:)

 

Movie Maker Project

"Check the Recent project list of your Movie Maker. Just press ALT + F in Movie Maker then you can see the list there.

Also, if you are using Movie Maker 2012, there is an auto-save file of your project located here: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Movie Maker\Autosave.wlmp Kindly go to that location and check the auto-save file. If you are successful,
just continue working using that project file and do not forget to save"

Windows Movie Maker video problems....

So what to do ?

 

Windows Movie Maker video problems....

And it's absolutely correct - there is no video in that file because it isn't a movie. It's a .wlmp Windows Live Movie Maker Project file, nothing more than a list of the source videos, the edit points and the transition effects saved in xml format.
