Thanks for responding. The .stap files are in tact, all the actions are there and play fine. I can manually put them with the video and tediously “hand sync” them on the timeline to get them back. Not good for hundreds of clips.

What mystifies me is the “Effect…(number).aif file being requested in the dialog box when opening the project. A search for anything similar returns nothing anywhere anytime. Was this something germaine to the older versions? I did the original edit, and have ALL my files, so that is why it’s a mystery. Due to time constraints, I’m now pulling the original qt’s onto the timeline and re editing. All the .stap work will have to be redone if I can’t find a solution.
