In the text mode I choose to create my own in 2D. When I use a comma, I get an e with an accent over it instead. When I type quotation marks, I get a capital E with the accent over it. (Yes, I went into properties to be sure the language is still English).
Sometimes when I create a text then try to add it to the timeline, I get a message saying "The imported template aspect ratio is 4.3 while your project is 16.9." I did NOT change my ratio. This is not consistent either.
Often ALL the buttons for the program simply disappear. I can make them return again by dragging the cursor over where the buttons are supposed to be. No idea why this would happen.
If I start to edit a clip (eg clip 00001) it plays through the clip part way showing a very jerky movie, then suddenly the cursor will jump ahead to about clip 00015 while at the same time showing me only a still from clip 00001. Meanwhile, the sound continues to be heard from clip 00001 even though the picture never moves.
Sometimes, all I get is a totally green screen instead of any picture.
This is a new computer. There is nothing else on it to create any "distractions". Go ahead, ask me if I'm pissed. This program seems to have more bugs than a Louisiana swamp. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions???
