THANKS!! Babdi
I did just that before I saw your reply.....spot on though.
I submitted a ticket for an updated version of PD8 with latest patch built-in.
Shock horror when I got the update within the hour; NOW that was impressive lol OOhh lucky me!
I uninstalled PD8 and used Ccleaner to tidy up the registery as matter of course, worked just fine after that.
Ref: Dafydd Bevan - SoftDeko
I have resolved this issue; as I have PM'ed you your aware of other issues that I will post in due course.
I have also updated my system info with new monitors on hardware page.

Info Noted, I wasn't dishing Adrian I don't know the guy even though he lives close by lol
I know what you mean about old issues; but it helps in my opinion if you link to related issues. I think its best to provide a link so you can follow on. I make this good practice when posting in other forums, but everyone is different. ON a plus point, links are basic SEO and will improve this site listings.
No offence intented to Adrian; I have since read his write up. It followed what I already understood about PD8
The whole thing has been frustrating for me; brought on by CL customer support.... At least be honest even though it might not be the answer I wanted. lol
This latest updated in March; may very well do the trick for me. The problem info is direcltly related to the problems I am facing. Which are the faults I reported to CL in January of this year.... and amongst all there fobbing off I was given. The issues must have being expericanced with other users. I do understand that some problems take a while to resolve. I know, I work in IT and tell me about it. But really their customer support I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
AWAY from that, A patch I now have.....Lets hope it kills 80% of my issues then I really would be happy. An alas the unusable software will become useable.
The issue of programme hanging at 92% on a 3min 31 sec video is still there been produced on .m2ts files is still there.
Before I had to convert to standard MPeg then convert that to .m2ts to get the file I wanted. OH GOD bless work arounds
ON the plus side it hasn't crashed yet;
All the best

I was a delighted user of PD7 and it worked just fine for me; and I do like the PD usability which is why I upgraded to PD8
As I built a dedicated machine for Video Editing, and to be fair I out grew PD7, I needed a more complex non consumer based software package. But some features a useful to dip back into. I found your comments very measured and factual. This is a good site for Info I am not knocking the site, but I am dismayed at how CL handles customers. I paid good money in OCT 09 for the software and it's as good as useless to me. I logged and submitted tickets, very slow and uncaring. Sometimes its not the users fault, but yeah 9 times out of ten it is. But when you use new software with cutting edge hardware you can expect some issues.
I researched a lot before I built my machine; took advice from CL website....
Hardware is a complex issue and granted CL cannot cater for every peice. But a list of known good hardware tested on CL software is not really out of the question. But in saying that it does take it out of the remit of consumer; because you have to think about what hardware your buying. Consumers don't tend to think that way, but this forum is more hepful the the CL customer support team. And I know the need to be measured too, but I do think they need to handle there customer support a lot better. They need a total rethink of how they operate the support structure.
Its been 7/8 months since my purchase and I have not been able to use it as it been designed to be used...
Its a shame there are some neat features; whiched hooked me.......
Its just lack of support; saying that though I submitted a ticked for an update of PD8. I got a reply in under an hour. WOW......lets see how well they do with the ticket I just submitted this one is not quite so easy

I'm glad you are now happy.
I'll move on to trying to help other folk.

Yes but that doesn't help other folk who read the thread; the idea of forums is to help many people from one generic problem. A link would be useful to help other people on the incorrect functioning of the shadow edit file system.
I would post one to benefit others; as you know more about the issue, your better placed to offer this help.
As I say I cannot find any referance to the latter issue on google.

Any of the cuff reasons this is happening... The error basically says that I don't have permission to access a key.

I agree with all the above; great post from 'Cap'n Kevin' So true
I had the same problem, I first used PD7 to produce a 1hr 14mins video
in one go; I noticed after 17 mins PD7 became slow; you have to remember when you are video editing, you are knocking hell out of your computer, its doing so much.
I resolved this by implementing the strategy that Cap'n Kevin used and MikeSierra - Their advise is golden, so listen to what they have suggested. as it WORKS
I have now since PD7 upgraded to PD8 and now have a spanking new PC for Video (sept09) editing and graphics. It is too a
Intel i7 920, G-force 260 and 6 gig of ram. Windows 7 (impresive the way forward) I have overclocked the i7 and is stable.
I have newly added a solid state drive with read 220 and write 110 MB/sec
To speed up the system; and system caching, I do like the results   
I also edit in small chunks and stitch together; works just fine!!! for me
Just need to get past some of PD8 bugs and things will be dandy..
Dafydd Bevan; yeah I agree this memory flushing is a bit of an issue; and does cause problems at times. I think a third party util might solve this!!
Have I just given myself a bit of homework?

If you've applied 2508 build and you have any bugs, please post, so that we can see them in the open, and if they are a general bug or a configuration issue. Also others and myself can see if the same applies on our machines and configuration.
It helps to see if its a configuration issue or a Bug in PD8
Thankyou

Build 2508 applied
1) Applying Lighting Adjustment; in preview the screen goes garbled to a green colour.
2) When PD8 first boots; I am able to use dual monitor preview, the newly added feature. When I apply a lighting adjustment,
colour adjustment. PD8 hangs where I need to end process.
3) unable to produce movie in AVC - m2ts exention.
This is still the case with me; before it got to 3% before it did nothing. Now it gets to 93% before it does the same, hangs then you need to end process.

I have just updated to 2508; as I have been filing bug reports with CL.
I have noticed slight improvement, for the bugs I was testing for.
Now I have a distorted image green in color when you re-size an Item, in the preview window. Does anyone else get this? New post maybe needed.
 the bug I was testing for appears to be resolved, Yay!!
Better out come though I can live with the green image, and its resolvable by moving the slider.
