Big problems in editing my video. This morning I was able to play the video so I would know where to edit the video and now 8 hrs later the program isn't allowing me to play it to do further edits. I've already restarted my laptop 4x's and unistalled to reinstalling the program and it's still not playing so I can edit my new video project 😞 I'm going on 10 hrs troubleshooting this problem. Urgent help please!

John is asking for a lot of detail and that's good.   But none of us are going to have a computer like that!  

 

My first guess is that you are running short of disc space.  Video editors need a lot of spare space for temorary files.  My second guess is that you might be mixing footage from different sources.  How much space do you have and where did the video files come from.
