Why does it keep falling over on me?
It seems to be ok with making short vids, but when i try to edit two 6 minute vids into one (two camera angles) it lets me get so far then goes awry.
Basically, first the sound disappears then the clips from the second lot of footage stops playing and eventually i have to dump the lot and start again.
Is there some sort of limit to the amount of raw footage or clip shuffling it is capable of? I'm only talking about a run down Lee Quarry's red run.
Running out of RAM?
What footage format are you dropping into it. I'd say it works best with simple formats of footage and sound. Such as plain .mpg video rather than any fancy avchd formats. Also I found it couldn't handle .mp3 audio very well, especially when cutting audio into sections, and it would mis-place the cut each time I played the timeline. Converting a mp3 to a wav file worked a lot better for me.
Fishe - that could be the problem. When i'm cutting and splicing the footage i get near the end of the job and firstly, the sound goes on a segment which is the first indication then the segment goes black followed by random other sections til i have to dump the whole job.
I converted the footage into Windows format from .mov then stored the raw footage in HD format.
It seems that it will only allow so many spliced segments from the two bits of footage before it goes tits up
EDIT: the sound is the camera sound, this is happening before i drop a soundtrack onto the finished edit.
Have you got the latest version. This use to happen to me but since downloading the 2012 edition it works really well, in fact no problems since downloading it.
No, i have what was on the laptop when i bought it in 2010.
Will have a look to see if i can get an upgrade. Where and how much was the 2012 edition?
There should be a free upgrade on the Microsoft site.
Cool, thanks fellas.
