Almost finished with a couple weeks work on a video and lost the sound

For the record, having a single key ('d') do something destructive
without confirmation is a bug. Especially when that key is right next
to 's' for Save!! Talk about tempting fate.
Doug: what I can suggest beyond what Edouard said is to search your
file system for an earlier revision of the XML project file. (I will
usually make a duplicate copy of the XML file once a week or so as I
work on it to avoid just such a problem.)
Beyond that, if both channels were exactly the same, you can just pan
the right one to center and be good. If not, if all the edits were
done identically to the left and right, you could hack a copy of the
XML file and:
1) copy & paste the entire <TRACK/> code block from the right channel
2) search & replace 'CHANNEL="1"' with 'CHANNEL="0"' in the pasted
block (or whatever the correct channel number is for your sources.)
3) Change the track name in the <TITLE/> tag.
(I once discovered that I had pressed 'd' but didn't know it since the
affected track wasn't on my screen to begin with and I had to
reconstruct it that way. Thank heavens it's just XML!)
Hope that helps!
Sincerely,
Sean M. Pappalardo

OK went into patchbay and put the sound from a single track in both side
speakers. There had been some differences between the sound in the two
tracks but My ear can't tell the difference. I think it will be OK.
Thanks everyone for the help.
I have used Premeir quite a bit and as I remember it saves a
seperate file every time you hit save. You can set it up so that it only
keeps a certain number of individual files. Maybe five or ten what
ever number you want and it deletes the oldest. Can you do the same
thing with Cinelerra by using "save as" for each file. That would
allow going back to a previous file maybe only three or four decisions
back. Of course it would take up a lot of hard drive space but that is
cheap now days.
I mix a lot of stills with video. Often these are strills
downloaded off line. I usually do moves across them,zoom in and out
etc. Them along with video gives the picture much the same feel as
video. It does make really complicated video with a lot of moves and
commands and I often find that I begin to have problems as I get closer
to the end of my work. Maybe I am asking too much of Cinelerra she
seems unstable and strange things begin to happen. Maybe I am working
from too many different kinds of files? I would not be unhappy with
breaking my video up into smaller clips. I could render the clips then
put them all on a single track and render again. Is It possible that I
am just to disorganized with my editing? Doug
