I will have to sign off, but our friends in Aussie land are just getting to go. I'll check back tomorrow.
Have a good sleep, and thanks a lot for all your help!

Your source video file may have some digital artifacts that PD9 does not like (PD is not great with giving the user much error feedback). You may be able to remove the offending section by using the multi-trim option.
Is the preference option "Enable HD video processing" enabled on your PC ? You try disabling it and see if it changes things.
I don't guess I have the enable hd video processing option.
I'll cut out a bit around the offending area and see what happens.

Not to be too pedantic, but you can also "export" under file-export-pack your project.
I would use the word "burn" to DVD disc or folder, and "produce" to hard drive.
With so many options these days it is hard to know exactly what steps people are doing to "render" their videos. ![]()
Okey doke, thanks. I just used the word "export" because I'm used to using that word for that kind of process. I've never used the export process in PD. I'll pick my words more carefully next time for clarity's sake.

I attempted to produce a movie that I trimmed to about 10 seconds after the part where it hangs, and it hangs at the same exact spot.

OK. I noticed that the aspect ratio of the two files is not identical. Using the trim tool, try to produce a very short (about 30 seconds) test file and see how it goes. This file will be useful for determining what it is that is causing your hang at 20 %. Don't give up - there are quite a few of us looking at this forum. If I can't help some one else will.
It produced without a hitch and is now uploading to YouTube.
Also, thanks for the encouragement.

OK. The file fits the capabilities of PD9 so the problem is elsewhere. I assume that when you say "produce" you do not mean produce to disc. Is that correct ?
Yes, that's right. Produce as in exporting.

Mike,
Please give us much more detail on what it is you're working with and what you are trying to produce.
It's an audio and video .wmv created by my client using one of those web conferencing screenshot services.
All I did was edit some parts out and added a title at the beginning. But the producing stops well after the title.
Thanks,
Mike

Does your video play in Windows Media Player ?
Yes it does.
Thanks

Hi Jumpback67
Welcome to the forum.
Check your video/PIP track to see what (if any) affect, transition, photo, video clip etc is at that point and remove it and then try again.
Hi, thanks for the fast reply and the welcome. At that point, there are no effects or anything at that point other than the one video clip that is playing from the beginning.

Hello,
When I try to produce a movie, it always stops at exactly 20%. Power Director doesn't freeze; I can still click buttons and cancel it. It just stops producing. I've tried producing .mp4 and also uploading to YouTube. Same results.
Can anyone help?
Here are the details:
PD 9 (Latest update)
Dual core processor
3 Gb RAM
SATA drive with 300 GB remaining
NVIDIA 6200 LE (Latest drivers)
The video file is .wmv, about 8 minutes long
Thanks!
Mike

Thanks very much for the tips! I am now able to snap to the beginning of another clip. Unfortunately, no matter what I try, I can't get a clip to snap to the timeline slider; the slider always jumps to the clip I want to move. But the first one was the more important anyway. Thanks again!

Hi,
I am long time Premiere Elements user, evaluating PowerDirector. I actually like PowerDirector better, but I can't find in PD a couple of features I find useful in Premiere.
In PE, when you move an item on one track, you can easily snap the item to the beginning of an item on another track. Just drag it to the proper place, and it will snap to if you let it. This makes it very easy to align perfectly, if need be. Is that available in PD? How would I do it?
How about snapping an item to the timeline slider - can that be done? If so, how?
Also, is there anyway to type in an item's beginning position rather than having to drag the item? I don't think this ability is in PE.
Thanks a lot for helping this newbie!
Mike
