Oh, that. XD Yeah I know how to do that, that's what I meant by "zoom in" all the way.
The "preview" I'm primarily talking about is the preview display monitor thingymabob on the near-upper right corner of the screen.
The secondary 'preview' I speak of is within the Trim window. How it shows the last frame you've picked out and stuff, you know?

"You can expand the timeline to a one frame resolution"
I'm not sure if I know what you're talking about. How do I do this?
Or is what you're talking about the thing you then explain in the next paragraph? How do I words?
"What you see in the preview depends on the resolution of the timeline."
In fact I'm not sure what you mean here either. Are you talking about the preview resolution?

I'm editing a review of a TV series, and I'll be editing clips, but the clips are constantly going to the next shot/scene right before the cut happens.
EG: A shot of someone talking, then for ONE microsecond, a shot of a building, before it cuts to the next clip of another character.
I didn't want that building in there. I deliberately cut the clip to where the building wasn't there in the last frame. In the Trim editor itself, it shows that the first and last frames are both of the character talking.
Even the video itself in the preview window makes it seem like everything's fine; but the fully rendered video will show off all the jarring cutting. So then I go back to the file, zoom all the way in, and see that the final few frames contain a different shot at the end.
Why isn't this shown in the Trim preview? Why is it not reliable?
And yes I usually don't cut things that closely, but sometimes it works much better.

Bump 2.0
|
|
|
Whups, I was premature there. It turns out I didn't actually SET the changes, it just so happened that the editing worked a lot faster for a few minutes after I thought I did.
So I did it properly this time--setting it to 18000mb--and reset, but it hasn't helped much.
Also I downloaded the driver you linked, and it told me it wasn't authorized or compatible or somethin. I'll follow their support stuff and look into this.

Thanks yo, before even resetting it's working better~

Oh hey, I'm not sure what I did differently, but I got it to work this time
|
|
|
|
Yo excuse me (this will be my last bump; don't worry) is there any way to resolve how the DxDiag thing isn't working for me?
|
|
|
|
Yo I just wanted to say I'm really appreciative of the super thorough help you guys provide. The reason PD's problems frustrate me is because of how great of a program it is!
|
|
|
Step 2-3
Welp, I created a Shortcut for DxDiag, but I don't know where "startup/apps" is. Doing a search didn't yield anything.
Step 2-4
Double clicking on it doesn't seem to do anything either. Even if I run as Administrator and hit 'Yes', nothing happens.

And now, stuff is randomly flickering and flashing in the final render. I've been editing just fine for 8 months without getting issues like this very often. I'll do the thing now.
1. Windows 8
2. 12.0.2930.0
3. VDE140423-01
4. MKV and MP4
6. ESET NOD32 Antivirus
7. I'm not aware of any Codecs I've installed
8. I naturally probably have Windows Movie Maker somewhere, as well as Sony Vegas
9. I'm not aware of any burning software on my PC
11. Sometimes Chrome and Skype and Action! and Spotify and Notepad. Closing and quitting all of these (and doing a proper Task Manager inspection) hasn't appeared to help my problems, however
12. I can't seem to get it to work at this moment, I can put more time into it if necessary
13. http://postimg.org/image/rywm8gjnz/full/
14. I have done so

For some reason while I've patched up the audio issue, it's just glitching up and around to all hell. Layer 2 goes haywire about 1:20 in; if I take something from the timeline out of layer 2, it just stays there in the preview (and the render). I'm having to just put black on layer 3 and do everything over it.
I don't feel like inputting all that information right now, I'm just going to complain. Because I have a decent computer; PD12 at *maximum* usage only uses 50% of its CPU or memory, and usually around 15%. So I'm pretty sure I'm not too underpowered.

Experimenting around a bit, it seems that the audio files continue to play sometimes past the cutoff point I gave them.
|
|

Edit: PD will crash when weighed down too much, the preview will often lag far behind, bladabla, general stuff like that and I know it can be fixed with a more powerful computer. The purpose of this thread is to see if I can find a way to speed this up a bit some other way
The audio is just echoey sometimes. I'll be playing the preview, and it gets echoey once it gets to a new audio file. If I pause, click around (on nothing), then play, it fixes it. Until maybe next time I hit play. This wouldn't be TOO much of a problem if not for the fact that it even passes on into the final export!
What the heck's up with this?

Hey, I did a sort of version of what you guys said, and it worked. So sort of thanks!

I take some sound that is a proper mono channel. I put it in Powerdirector and, if I play it in the preview window, it plays fine. However, when I put it into the timeline and play the video, the sound is all coming out the left side and the right is completely muted. I exported the video as a test and found that it has the same one-sided result. What's causing this? This doesn't always happen.
Last time, it ONLY did this after I exported, and somehow it fixed itself on its own.
