So I bought PD 10 last month after trying many other programs. It's amazing to me that yet again, I can't make a simple movie just once, without a glitch.
So I have a movie with about 5 transitions. They are all sticky and very amateur looking in both PD's window as well as in any movie I produce. I could overlook that and settle for tacky transitions but then it just decides to freeze at various points in my produced movies. All of them, any format.
I have been trying to find anything about this on the forum. Seems others have had this problem but I can't tell what the solution is from any of the post. Best I can tell is that maybe my computer is too slow. Seems like a lame answer in that the program works fine until I try to make a finished product. Like making an airplane that does everything but actually lift off the ground. Of course I had to buy the airplane first.
Any thoughts, experience with this? I have it on an HP pavillion dv6000 32 bit, with 2 GB Ram, using windows Vista. Too Slow? Says it burned successfully everytime.
I'm using video from an Iphone. Can anybody tell me what format is best to produce these too so I can put them on the internet. They don't need to be too big. Just want them to work on you-tube. Of course they have to actually work first, but provided I can get PD to actually burn a movie, what's a good format? Thanks for any help. Sorry for the frustration, I've been trying to make the same movie now for weeks on so many different programs and now PD is failing too so it's a little much on the nerves. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the reply wnuk! That is very helpful! specially the PiP function to see both. i was just wishing i could do that. so that's great info. quick question, I have been splitting as you say, but I don't seem to have an undo function. it's greyed out. any thoughts? do you use the forums mostly to learn? haven't found Cyberlinks documentation to be very informative. if I type undo into the help search there is nothing. same w the info on PiP, or track layering. just curious. seems like the forums are the way to go. Thanks again!

So I just bought PD V10 and I am at a loss on some of the most basic funtions. I haven't used many video editing programs so maybe it's just that I don't get some of the simple stuff. Here's the main thing I'm trying to learn. If I put two clips of video on two separate tracks, how do I choose which clip plays in the preview window. I thought maybe it was whichever one is in track 1 would play in the preview window but it doesn't seem to be the case. I filmed the same thing (me playing a song at a bar) with two different cameras and just want to create one movie by transitioning back and forth between the best parts of the two clips. I have them lined up on tracks 1 and 2 so that the audio lines up and the video is in sync as far as where it is in the song but it will only show track 2 in the preview window. How does the timeline work in this regard. if i have more than one video tracks going, what is the default on what gets displayed and what doesn't. I hope I've made sense. Any help would be amazing. I downloaded the manual. No help at all. Seems like they assume you know how the basic functions work so they never start at ground zero. To me it's always a bit frustrating when a company assumes you understand their program right off the bat. I want to be treated as if I've never opened a video program before in my life. Which is pretty much the case. Hope you guys can help. Thanks so much.
