In the last two days, I upgraded the RAM in my desktop computer from 12 GB to 32 GB, and I updated PowerDirector 14 to the latest version (14.0.2820.0). However, instead of working better than ever before, now all newer videos have a black screen with their audio running in the background? Here's a timeline:
5/13 - Produced a working video in H.264 HEVC
5/15 - Produced three small videos in H.264 HEVC. I cannot recall if I tested on the desktop, but they worked on another computer.
5/19 - Updated PowerDirector. Installed new RAM.
5/19 - Produced further videos in H.264 HEVC that no longer work on the desktop (but work on other devices).
5/20 - Updated video card to latest driver. No effect.
The videos from 5/15 and 5/19 no longer display correctly on this machine - just the black screen with sound in the background. The video from 5/13, however, still plays just fine. I don't remember any difference in my settings between 5/13 and 5/15. What's going on? Why are only these files coming out black, but not older files?

I updated just a day or two ago. Yesterday, I also upgraded my RAM from 12 GB to 32 GB, but saw no significant improvement. There is now a curious quirk that all my most recent mp4 videos now have audio but no video - I'm assuming that is a separate issue...
Too bad tsMuxerGUI won't work.
EDIT: Also, I opened a 3m43s clip, a mere 750k large. Still no SVRT options.

The clips that the camera creates are massive MOV files, exactly 3,605,376 KB, and only 18 min long each (1920x1080p, 30fps, audio at 48kHz and 2304Kbps).
When I attempt "Intelligent SVRT", I get a message "No SVRT profiles available for the current project." I have not once been able to use "Fast video rendering technology", or "Hardware video encoder".
A 24 minute movie requires 90 minutes to two hours of time to produce on my system (core i5 processor, second gen, 32 GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6800 graphics card with 1GB dedicated RAM).
After producing the video into (about 5GB of raw MOV files) using HEVC, the filesize is only 1.6GB large - so I know there is some hefty compression going on. Is there something else going on?
Because these are recordings of live music, I'm very hesitant about a loss of quality, especially audio quality.
I will look into that tsMuxerGUI, though, it sounds promising.

I was hoping not to have to produce the video twice - wouldn't that degrade the quality? Also, would using a different format on the SD card change anything?

Anyone?

My camera chops longer recording sessions into multiple clips. I'd like to be able to apply PowerTools consistently to the whole recording, but I can only do one clip at a time. In particular, I'd like for the zoom/crop setting at the end of one clip to transfer to the next clip, so that I am not drawing the new one by hand and the seam can go unnoticed. How can this be accomplished?
