I wanted to edit a bit out of a video taken with a POV1.5 headcam, so put it into windows movie maker but when I publish the movie and play it I get a half green screen - top half is the squashed video and the bottom half is a bright green, can't seem to get rid of or change this. What do I need to do to get this to work, is there a download or codec thing to do?
Thanks
Can you play it okay inside Movie Maker?
What settings are you using when you publish it?
Yeah, plays ok inside movie maker.
When I publish it I do:
Publish for 'this computer' name the file and destination,
Then settings, I've tried, 'Best quality for playback on my computer(recommended)' and 'More Settings > Windows media low bandwidth, and Windows media VHS quality, and Windows Media portable device(PAL)' ...
they all have the same green split screen, the half screen video playback that you see all looks ok.
I'm trying to edit a 60 second clip and make it a smaller file to email someone. I've just downloaded Premiere Elements trial to see if I can get more success on that?
Thanks
Sounds like a graphics card issue. Make sure your drivers are all up to date
Yeah I'd try the file on a different PC if you can just to see if it is your graphics card.
Otherwise it sounds like the CO bit of your codec is buggered for some reason (i.e. the bit that does compression).
Kojak,
sod making it smaller - just use yousendit.com
Ok, I'll try the graphics card drivers update and another pc.
Pook, would be nice to send the whole file but it's 364mb, tried something like that before and it didn't work, but I still need to edit out the 60 seconds or so I want to send.
Just trying out the Premiere Elements at the mo, I've used Premiere 6.0 in the past but that won't work with most stuff these days and doesn't seem update-able? But, the quality of the video on Elements doesn't look very good so far, although I've not exported it yet so hope it looks better when completed ... although I'm guessing as it's only the trial version it will have that 'Created with Adobe Premiere Elements 7 triel version' plastered all over it?
Cheers.
ah, fair enough.
Hi, updated graphic card drivers, but still get the same problem, here's a screen grab:

Also plays the same, with the green half screen, on other PC's
Any other thoughts??
Oh yeah, Elements works ok, but as it's the trial version it has that 'Created with Adobe Premiere Elements 7 trial version' plastered right across the screen, I could purchase the full version I suppose, but movie maker is 'usually' quick and easy.
