So I read some reviews and bought Cyberlink PowerProducer 10.
I have two video clips, which I removed the audio from. I put them in the timeline and when I click play to watch them it plays for a few seconds and then renders. This can take forever sometimes, especially with long videos. Without doing that I cannot skip around my video to add effectsm because the preview window won't show any scenes from the video. Is there something I am doing wrong here?
With Camtasia, I would do much the same (after I converted my files into an mp4 since Camtasia wont use what my Sony Camcorder puts out) drag the videos into my timeline, hit play and it instantly plays, I can also jump anywhere I want in the timeline without this rendering stuff. Please help, let me know if you need more info. I still very much a novice with this!
