Pro 2 was not designed for Vista, stick to XP or upgrade to CS4. This is probably not what you want to hear but that is how it is. I had Pro 2 on Vista with many issues, even certain footage not show up at all. No fun to work with.

You're talking a lot of dependencies here. I'm having no problems with Apple's Motion and Final Cut Studio in 720P HD with five layers off a single 7200 RPM drive and lightly compressed video on a top-of-the-line dual quad core Mac Pro with 8GB of system RAM and nothing else running. But I don't expect 1 stream of uncompressed HD video without a decent SATA or SAS RAID array on the system because one 7200 RPM hard drive...

[Fraser Coull] "it only transcodes so far and eventually just pauses and then crashes." When you say so far, how far is that? right at the begining? midway? toward the end?

On occasion, still images in the timeline fail to display (they show as Black). When I remove Scale To Image, I "get" the image back. What's up with that? Should I avoid using Scale to Image? For ref: these are jpeg images (under 2000 pixels on the longest dimension...avg size ~ 1.3 Mb). This is an HDV project. Should I avoid using jpg's? Does the system have to work harder to render them (similar to the problem with using...

Hey John, I'm wondering if I'm reading your 1st post correct. You say you shot the video with one camera and then captured from another older one, is that correct? If so I think the strobing problem is because the older camera does not use the same "drop down" technology as the more modern cameras. It's a little wierd that the frame rate reads as 29.97 even though you selected the capture DV in 24. I think if all this...

If it stalls around the same spot, there might be a particular file that's corrupt and won't render. Jpg files will create some problems if they are too big. See if you can narrow down an area inthe timeline that might be a corrupted file and unlink those clips without deleting them. Then choose replace to link them again. -Jon Barrie Jon Barrie aJBprods www.jonbarrie.net

If cropping off the top/bottom gives you thicker borders, crop off the left/right. -Jeff

Unfortunately, even if this is for your personal use, showing you how to rip a commercial would be illegal, and would probably also avoid a nasty post from Ron... Vince Becquiot Kaptis Studios San Francisco - Bay Area

Try using Premiere Elements 4 to 8 sometimes the consumer product if you have it, does a better job ???????? ie., for the simple things.

I guess that's a Windows trick. I tried it on my Mac and I don't think anything happened. And when I tried to export something again, it didn't work. I'll try to reinstall everything this weekend and see if that helps.
