I would like to see PD8 morph in to a 32 bit only Win8 compatible PD-11 lite - don't break it, just adjust it to work on new platforms.

PD 8 is an old version. There will not be any further changes to it. As far as new platforms, have you tried running in Windows compatibility mode? __________________________________

Thanks for the reply....

I took it on as a 'hobby' to try to get PD9 and 10 working as smoothly as PD8. Clean installs of Windows, with SSD's or, with all magnetic drives, several driver (video and system) changes back and forth and adjusting the check marks on the PD option menus, and rechecking how things are doing with each released PD update.
In total, I have dozens of hours trying to get things to work as well as PD8 - and in all of these cases there was only one editing program ever installed on the system so a conflict of drivers or codecs or such would not be an issue.
The responsiveness and other differences of PD8 vs PD9/10 are not slight, they are profound.

A constant for me though, is an intel platform and Nvidia graphics cards. Although over the couple of years, there have been changes of both CPU/motherboards and graphics cards. But it could be that another platform might work better with PD9 and 10.

It is just that I have found a combination of programs that seems to do most of what I need, and the learning process above showed me where each program's capabilites are.

And to the point of the thread, I am indeed hoping PD11, when it arrives, solves some of the problems I have with PD9/10 and expands the range of use for my needs!

Would like to see (if it's not already in 10) a View option to choose frame size in timeline, say 2 secs, 5, secs, 10 sec etc and the also by each frame as in MediaStudio8.

Also option to cut clips without that trim box.. Just a scissor on the time line.

Hi Ozstar

I've never use the trim function. I use the Split and Delete method - much quicker and easier in my humble opinion.

Oh my.. missed that in the tutorials..

I will go and see if there is a video tutorial on it now. Yes much easier, certainly for one who has been indoctrinated for so many years doing it another way.

Appreciate the help Neil,

oz

I don't have those buttons above the timeline.

I looked but can't see whee I get them to show.

Hi Oz

There are hundreds of tutorials on PD, by far some of the best are from the PDToots team, click on the link near my signature.

Here's two 'toots' to start with, they are using PD8 here but the principals are the same for PD10.





And there's also a Cyberlink Youtube Channel too:

Thanks Neil..

I think the penny is dropping on my drear old brain.

I've got the split option now. Great!

I've seen many of the vids but then I don't get to use PD for a while and forget it all!

Hopefully more will stick this time.

Thanks again
