How do I get a New Collection to begin/ clear old movie?

[Guest]

Awhile back, I created a movie, sent it by email, and saved to my files. The
project is saved under My Documents: My Videos. I am unable to clear the
storyboard and begin again. I suppose I could delete each feature on the
storyboard, but then I'd never be able to work on two movies at once. Am I
missing something, or just clueless, LOL?! I'd appreciate any help!

Thanks,
LostDawn

I've already tried that. The "Clear Storyboard" is not enabled. When I
click on New Project, the screen with the old pictures remains. I'll check
out the link you listed, also. Thank you!

============================
If "Clear Storyboard" is grayed out...
you have no files on the Storyboard.
The Storyboard is at the bottom of the
screen.

Apparently you are referring to the
Contents pane that shows the files
in the currently selected folder?

If you click a different folder or import
some new files you should see something
new in the Contents pane.

Yes, I was clueless! I thought the files (pictures) were part of the
storyboard. What I didn't realize was that I had to select all files and cut
them from the top in order to begin a new storyboard at the bottom with the
top empty to begin with. I've got it figured it now! Thanks for helping a
newbie! I really appreciate it!

=================================
The files on the Storyboard or Timeline
(which ever you choose)...are the current
work in progress. You can add files from
any of your collections to the current
project. The only thing that is required to
begin a fresh new project is an empty
Storyboard/Timeline.

BTW...deleting from the Storyboard/Timeline
has no effect on the project files...they are still
available. Also...deleting files from your
Collections folders has no effect on the original
source files. They will still be in their original
locations in your hard drive.

And...if your project is composed entirely of
still images...you might find PhotoStory 3 to
be a useful program:
