error message -199 occurred, my program can’t open
Mac G-4 dual 1.42 OS 10.3.9 Media 100iXR 8.2.2
I completed a 7 minute photomontage and saved it several times. When I went to force render. It rendered 1/3 of the transitions (all dissolves) and then stopped with the message it couldn’t find the media, but all the photos had already been rendered. I closed out and restarted. When I clicked on the project to open it opens the Project window and Audio but no the Program. When I click on the Program icon in the Project window it searches for Media and then I get the message “could not complete the ‘Open…command because an error of the type -199 occurred. It looks like all the media is on the external hardrive.
I have to have this project out by noon tomorrow. Can anyone help me find the project? Are there settings that may have been corrupted? What can I do?
Thanks in advance,

anything saved in your backup bin that’s useful? if you can find a pre render program – I’d force render in small segments (30 secs or so) – If it crashes in a particular segment, there could be corrupt media in that segment. Also, you can try to make a new program and copy paste clips to that in case the program file is corrupt. I’ll be awake for a while so keep posting. best of luck
Kind regards,

thanks for the response. I couldn’t find anything in the manual about how to access the backups, but, finally figured it out. I did a search for “Backups” under the File tab on my computerand found them in Documents>Media100i Backups.
I then opened the project and under File > Open > navigated to the last backup in my documents>Media 100i Backups and it opened. Yeah! I am now rendering the transitions 5 at a time until I find a glitch which might be the corrupted file. Thanks for your help.
