Does it help?Īs a best practice, we usually aim for abbreviated session file names of no more than about 36 characters, sort of like 'ClientName_Project_Name_Season_Ep_Date,' so it'd be 'Netflix_StrThings_S3Ep01_2-24-2022.' That will always fit, plus it's easy to understand and all the characters will show up in the window.

Try with shorter filename and directory names. Maybe the filename (including the path ) you tried to use is too long NTFS only allows max 255 characters for full path. * Note: I'm not sure if its any or all of these combined that specifically cause the problem, but I don't recall ever getting this error when copying and pasting simple timelines without such references between projects.ĮDIT: Removed unexpected URL tag from the post.įloh79 wrote:Hi. If you are having similar trouble then, if no other options present, as a last resort you might try exporting drt's from the faulting project and using those to rebuild in a new empty project. The timeline plus new master instances of source content is then created in the new project without issue, albeit that the timeline is linked to the newly created media references and not the already extant media references. The solution for me was to export the timeline needed from the first project as a DRT file and then import that DRT into the second project. The new project will then throw up this 'critical error when saving' message. Specifically, if copying a timeline from an older project version where the older timeline contains nested and/or compound and/or multicam timelines*, and then pasting it into the new project.

Only time I have seen this (and I can reproduce) is when working as above.
