Here is a suggestion for smoothing out video segments

Hello,

I have been working on a new intro segment to a new Video I am producing. The inro has our music, company name etc and is use over and over again for each of our video productions. This new intro has music, lots of quick shots and scene changes as well as using the Power Tools for speeding up the video footage... Anyway, I was finding that when I tried to run this on my computer as a bunch of little segments, PD 9 would bog down and even skip some of the short segments or show only black. (probably my computer/video card is over taxed, but its the one I have right now).

My solution to this problem was to take the intro video, by itself, "save as" and then Produce it as its own MPEG file. I named it, Intro and then just imported it into my video library. I then deleted all the individual segments and music that were at the beginning of my new video title and the new beginning runs perfectly.

Just a suggestion for anyone running into the same kind of problems.

You have discovered, through logic and trial, a very good lesson in ANY video editing. Honestly, it's not a new lesson, but one that bears repeating from time to time.
Pre-rendering of video segments, whether intros, outros, or even portions of the actual production, helps to ease the strain on your system, and make the editing process a lot more fun, as you can see what you're getting at. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

I agree - I do some pretty big works, and always break them into sub movies / projects- then recompile into a master movie at the end (makes edits easier as well)
I have a directory set up that i use for each projects, this contains my intro movie, etc. I jsut copy and rename at each use
