Have been using PD 13 for 5 years and today it has not loaded video into the edit pane for editing from the time line. The sound is there but no picture? Only a black or green blank frame appears. Stupidly I uninstalled the program thinking I could re install from the original source. I wish! I then installed trial version of PD18 and before using I deleted loads of data to ensure there was plenty of free space on the hard drive.
First try was success after importing new video and editing an hours worth. Next day the program has reverted to the same issue I had with PD13. OMG!
There appears to be background things happening when PD is running and it is slow and freezes sometimes. I checked the process running in taskmaster and PD is running 2....new project 189mb and something called PD Hanuman Svr App 18.4mb?
PD loads jpg's OK from the samples but not the mp4 videos from the samples offered.
When loading an mp4 file the progress bar is 100% and blue but doesn't disappear? My own video comes from Panasonic HC-X920 avchd camcorder.
Is it the fault of a graphics card on the PC running windows 10 maybe .??
It is all a mystery to me as you can see from my predicament explained!
Any help would be most greatfully received. Thanks Alistair.
