The fact that these bugs haven't been dealt with is one of the main reasons I haven't worked on a muvizu project in a while. Why should I drive myself crazy making a Muvizu video, when, in the end, Muvizu might not work? Many unfinished videos are out there.

Whatever happened to the idea of "testers"?

https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=49D7234E5E7C54B9%21161

It doesn't support keyframes, but other than that it works. Never do the automatic update to the new version, never. Download it separately, install it separately, use it separately, but never update your version of Muvizu via the prompt you get when you first load the program (Muvizu HQ, you'd have so many less complaints on here if you just added a warning line to that prompt...not everyone wants to be a tester). Even if a patch comes out tomorrow for v1.6, chances are that it'll just break something else anyway (just going by past history) so use a stable version instead and forget about v1.6 for the moment. Even if you have to rebuild your v1.6 sets, at least you can get on with it for now.

unfortunately, starting over with v.1.5 does require rebuilding anything that was made with a later version. But the upshot is that, after doing so, you won't hit any more road blocks.

My concern is: what if the fix corrects the core problem but doesn't make our stalled projects re-openable? If the problem was caused by omitting just one variable when saving projects, I can't imagine how they'd ever know what to replace.

Bottom line, its a holiday week for a lot of us, and we have time. Rebuilding with a stable version may be the path of least resistance. And if it turns out that our projects can't be reopened after the fix, it might be necessary anyway.

Disclaimer: I'm just speculating a worst case scenario to justify the hassle of starting over, not trying to start a rumor that the fix won't make our stalled projects re-openable.
