In the project window instead of seperate items to be edited the whole lot gone into one picture (the first picture of the movie).
I need to add items to the video but it is now all joined together!
Any help would be appreciated.
Yes, after you have rendered out using "make movie" it makes ONE movie. You don't go add to that rendered movie. You open the previous project, the one you used to make that movie, and THERE is where you add more things.
If you instead want to add that rendered movie as part of another project, then you must manually split your movie into smaller chunks.
