I have created so many videos using PD11,12,13 and now when working on 14, I have an issue. I have motion thumbnails in the menu. For all the earlier versions, the first clip in the video used to appear. This is what I wanted. Now in PD14 the first clip that appears in the menu is the clip which is almost 30 seconds from the start. It is starting somewhere between 27-30 secs. Anyone has any ideas why this is happening and what can be done, or is it a bug.

The problem for me is, I have two individuals editing the clips. One will edit the video and start to mute where audio is unwanted. Another one looking at the mute clips, places the music. Now with this great new feature in PD14, my editing time just got doubled. They should bring back that feature. It was totally dumb, who ever decided to take it off.

I recently upgraded from PD13 to PD 14. First issue I obesrved is, after muting a video clip, earlier the line in audio was invisible, but now in 14 it is not. So is there anyway to find what clips are muted vs what is not, if I add 200 clips. Do they have any kind of new indication after muting ? Please enlighten/

Thanks Carl, this is what I did, but did not select Blu-ray option but used the DVD option to create the folder. I can also use 25fps, but will 50 fps give a better resolution or clarity when burnt on the DVD ?

Not sure if this was posted anywhere, but wanted to get more info. I record home videos at 1080 60P, can I convert it to PAL 50fps DVD ? When should I use 60FPS ? Are Blu-ray automatically rendered at 60fps ?

I can tell you this. I was very enthusiastic when DP13 came out, but after using it, felt miserable. Very slow in these areas.
1) Opening the project.
2) Becomes totally unresponsive when using Video slowdown and finally your way out is task manager.
3) Moving between Edit and Create disk was a night mare
4) Project files from PD13 is not backward compatible.
So went back to PD12. I recommend PD12, as it does not have any of the above issues.

Sorry Ynotfish. I could not reply any earlier. Your steps are correct.
After step 2, once you uncheck, color director, the i (effect applied icon) is gone. So you think everything is OK. But after you go to Create Disc and come back, you see the - i again. It comes out the same way, even after you burn to disc. I definitely think it is a bug. To me if the rendered video contains this affect or not, is not important, but the very fact the -i is coming back, that itself is more than sufficient to prove there is a bug.
Other workaround I tried are,
1) After unchecking CD, save the project, do to create disc and come back.
2) After unchecking CD, save the project, close PD12, open PD12 and the project. Now no need to go into create disc, - i is already there.
Both did not work.

Thanks everyone for your input. Looks like manually creating the projects are the only way.
Also I regularly burn BD disc, with both H264 and mpeg2, it just does not play in my 2006 and 2011 PS3's. Also I have tried in various burners like, ImgBurn, Burnaware, Nero 12 etc. No success.

Oh actually when I meant splitting a big project, it is like this. Obviously the quality is very imporant. I have aproject currently which is around 15GB, when I go to Create disc. So I do not want the applicaiton to reduce that, to fit into a 8.5 (DL) disc, but I should be able to render two DVD video file set so that I can burn 8 Gb in one, and another has the remaining 7. If PD12 cannot do this, then I need to approximate the number of hours of video coverage and split in to two projects and use Create Disc to create two separate sets of DVD files. For me the output to be as .vob files are important. Blu-Ray is showing 54 GB (mpeg4), but I will use h264 format and burn it on a BD-DL.
BTW, even after burning in h264, it does not play in PS3. Are there any other ways to make it work in PS3? Need to look out in the fourms, new to it.

I had a problem where the color, contrast and almost everything was set to something different from my original video clip. Any number of times, trying to figure out, what has happeend, seem to have failed. Then I recalled, that I visited ColorDirector under Fix/Enhance, to try to see how the preset looks. I did not like any, so finally unchecked everything and came out. But still the file in the timeline had these presets attached. So there is a way t oreproduce this issue. Select a video clip. Go to Fix\Enhance ->Color Director (Left most bottom Tab in PD12). Click on the presets, then make sure to uncheck everything. Now the video clip looks normal. Now go to Create Disc and try the preview. you will still see the the last preset selected. Now come back to Edit, you Video Clip is reverted to one of the preset. I put a supprot ticket to support, and they came back saying there is no bug.
Untimately for my project there was no other way, other than deleting this video clip and adding a new one.

Wanted to know if there is a feature or functionality, which automatically splits a oversized project, into 4.7 gb or 8.5 gb supported size, when creating Disc ? I see this feature in other products.
