Backups of your edits

Every save keeps a backup

Framecast saves your edits as you work, and changes you make just before you quit are saved too. Each time it saves, it keeps the version from the save before as a backup, inside the project.

If a project’s edits can’t be read

A project’s edits can get damaged, for example by a disk problem. Framecast then opens the backup from the save before and shows a note under the toolbar: “Opened the backup of this project’s edits”. Your last change may be missing, so check the video before you go on.

The damaged file stays in the project, and Framecast never saves over it. Click Show in Finder to see it, or OK to close the note.

If the backup can’t be read either, the note says “This project’s edits couldn’t be read”, and the recording opens without its edits. The damaged file is kept in the project as well.

Projects from a newer Framecast

A project saved by a newer version of Framecast can hold things this version doesn’t know yet. Framecast shows everything it can, and before it saves anything, it keeps a copy of the original file in the project. The note says “Saved by a newer version of Framecast”, or “Some edits can’t be shown”.

To see everything, update Framecast: choose Framecast › Check for Updates…. See Install Framecast.

Tip: if Framecast quits while you record, your recording is saved as well. See Recovered recordings.
