I believe I am having a problem with my .pds file becoming corrupt in PD 15.

When I play the video on the timeline, it is just fine the music and video are WYSIWYG and exactly the way I want it.

However, when I produce the video in PD 15, I do not get WYSIWYG. For example, about 1/2 through the video, I have music playing that I had previously deleted and replaced with another song. On the timeline however, the music is updated with the new song as I want it. Not sure how a song not even showing up in my timeline can play in the produced final video.

Then about half way into the produced video, the music stops all together and doesn't start playing again until about 10 minutes before the end of the video (about a hour gap). Again, on the timeline in my project, this does not occur.

My project is almost 2.5 hours long and I have learned a lesson that I should make smaller projects and then combine them into one big project to make a 2.5 hour video, this would make trouble shooting easier.

In addition to the audio issue, the video does something similar. Video clips are playing that were deleted in my project. Again, on the timeline it plays exactly the way I want, but when produced deleted scenes are coming up. I have probably 60 plus hours in this project and am very disappointed. This is the second time I have produced this same video and both times deleted music and deleted video clips are playing.

Prior to producing the video, I cleaned my computer with CCleaner Professional and rebooted. I have made several videos in the past and this is only the 2nd time my .pds file has become corrupted.

Any suggestions? Very frustrated here.

Hi Rob

Not sure if this will help you, but there was a case recently where turning of Hardware Acceleration in preferences cured problems not unlike yours. It would be worth a try - switch HA off and try again.

Thank you Shadowman, I will try your recommendation and reproduce the video tonight and let the forum know if that solved the problem.

Regards,

R.
