Brand new to workings of editing and PD13 - ive put together a video using the easy editor function and the Action template. All goes well with the transition between photos etc till the final 2 slides. From the last photo on the second last slide to the first photo on the last slide, there is around 5 seconds of blank screen and I cant work out what the problem is.

All the settings are the same with the other sides in the video. Any ideas on whatthe problem could be?

Thanks for the reply! No photos are missing from the finished video. Ive ticked the box on the template which links the last picture from previous slide to the first picture of the next slide. Both pics appear in the timeline but it blacks out for a period of 5 seconds. I've only just downloaded the product in the last couple of days and this was my first attempt. I'm assuming that the latest updates would have been included in my download.

Again, thanks for looking at this issue!

Hi TheShireHobbit -

That behaviour would indicate some issue with the GPU or driver. Have you installed the latest driver for your GPU? If not, it may be worth giving it a clean install.
