QuoteIt sounds like the first clip was dragged from the media library onto an existing timeline clip, while the second clip was already on the timeline and you tried dragging it onto the existing clip.
The context menu is slightly different in each case. Replace is another example of an option that shows up when dragging a clip from the media library onto a timeline clip, but that isn't available when trying to drag and drop a clip that's already been placed on the timeline.
Hi thanks for the reply
Im not sure if it could have been on the main timeline or not, its possible I dragged it from the media library to there in error - will try and replicate again in the morning
Not sure what I did but have now got myself confused
I have a main video and audio track which was in timeline 1 track and wanted to add a small snippet video into it.
In experimenting what to do I ended up with the main track on timeline 2 instead, so I added the snippet video initially into timeline 1.
Playing back it didnt show, undeterred I thought ok I will just insert it and overwrite it into a portion of the main video
So I dragged it down and got an option to Overlay come up in a box so I selected that and it worked fine, and I had a good result of the 2 videos combined, starting with the timeline 1, and in due course fading to the timeline 2 video, with a bit of the time showing both together which looked good
Thinking this was a good result, I tried the same with a second video snippet BUT this time I never got the option to overlay, I had the overwrite, insert and move all clips and something else.
Just wondering how I got different results doing the same initial course of actions
I experience this often running on my Windows 10 system that has only 8gb of ram. It seems to occur most often after I've rendered a project that has made a heavy drain on system resources. I'm GUESSING that once ram gets chewed up PD refuses to start. I would just about bet money that if my system had sufficient ram this problem would not occur. I'm curious as to how much ram your sytem has?
QuoteThe FX room has Zoom in and Zoom out, both can be keyframed to alter the movement.
As I mentioned in my initial post I looked at the zoom out FX but I cannot see how it can be edited Keyframe or otherwise to achieve what I wanted
The issues as I found when experimenting were
zoom out results in a black border at some point in the action - I just wanted the original zoom in to revert back to the original size frame smoothly by zooming back
If I could lose the bordering it would have been ideal - unless I am missing something on the editing here
Visualise the scenario
Initial frame is Full body
Zoom in Gradually moves in until just the upper half is visible
Zoom out is then required to move back from the upper half to full body frame
QuoteNo, the zoom effect cannot be tweaked.
But a better solution: "Zooming in" ist a very exciting expression for scaling the clip higher than 1.000.
So double click the clip, set a keyframe for "Scale", go to the timepoint of the highest zoom-factor, set a keyframe for "Scale" and scale to the desired value. Set as many keyframes as you want and scale to the value and on the end of the effect, set a keyframe for "Scale" and set the scale value to 1.000. Set "Ease in" and "Ease out" to smoothen the zooming a little.
I think, thats better than an effect and of course you can set also keyframes for "Position" and 'zoom' into the clip where you want.
Or even easier, do it with keyframes in the edit window.
Some tiome ago, I made a video. It's about "cropping and zooming", but it shows, how it can be done.

Thank you for this Hatti. I will give this a try and see how I get on with it
Recording musicians a lot I use the Zoom In effect in my videos
My only criticism of it, is whilst it zooms in lovely on the video track, when the effect ends it instantly goes back to the full frame not always giving an acceptable result in my eyes.
Is there any way of tweaking this effect so that you have it running as zoom in ....pause.... zoom out back to the original full frame at the same sort of speed it zoomed in originally
There is a Zoom Out effect but that is not what I am looking for as it has borders and so on, and doesnt do the above.
I just would like a gradual zoom in then gradual zoom back out
I'm trying to see if there is an effect which will slowly change 10 or 20 seconds of a video clip from colour to black and white, with the option to invert it the other way also
Does anyone know if there is such an effect available
QuoteI think you joined the files via the DOS copy /b command. You cannot join two MP4 files with that DOS command. The video file has information about the content of the file in the so called 'header' of the file. If you join the two files via DOS, you do not alter the header of the first file. So the header is wrong for the joined file. Some programs do not read the full header (e.g. obviously Windows Media Player) and play the whole video data. Other programs do, e.g. PD16, for editing purposes. They detect the wrong header and consider the whole file as "fubar".
You have to join the video files in an other way. Use the googling machine of your choice and search for "how to join mp4". There should be some tools, that helps you.
QuoteYou need to join the two clips before placing them on the timeline. Using DOS makes it easy. See this post if you need more help: https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/65474.page . I have posted the answer many times in the past.
For some reason my camcorder mid recording a video of a band singing, split the recording into 2 videos, which although continuous gives a little sound blip on the split - being in the middle of a vocal its a nuisance
Is there anything I can do to lose this yet retain continuity ?
The video seems seamless but its the audio - but I cannot see how to edit this or what to do
Is it possible to edit the imported video clip with either PD or Colour Director and not have to produce a new clip each time
Reason behind the question is I have a pair of videos from different camcorders which both need slightly different colour tweaking - do I have to load them both individually and produce each individually before using "the new produced clips" in multi cam director to create and produce one output video ?
If there is no choice which format would be best to save the produced files in ?
