I've been editing a bunch of .avi files recorded by fraps. I started having issues where in movie mode when I want to preview my movie, maybe like one or two clips play, then on the next clip, playback freezes. However, sounds in the video can still be heard, along with the audio track that I have loaded. Once this happens, I press the stop button and the program just seems to hang for a few seconds then comes back. When I click on anything in the PowerDirector window, it snaps to the desktop and I have to go to the taskbar to bring it up again. One interesting thing that I noticed is that if I put the clips back to back without trimming anything from the video clips, it plays fine. It only freezes when the clips have been trimmed. Has anyone ever encountered a problem like this?
System specs:
Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 64-bit
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
8GB RAM Patriot Xtreme Performance
EVGA GTX 260 Core 216
Soundblaster Xtreme Music sound card
I've updated gfx card drivers to the latest. Installed a new codec package from ffdshow. If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know. Also, let me know if you need more information about the problem. I think I covered the bases pretty good, but I could have left something out that you all might be able to use to help me solve the problem.
Overall, I love the software and the features. Just want to get this annoying bug/issue out of the way. Thanks in advance my fellow video editors!
Also, just to mention the fact that I've read all about the tasks to carry out and whatnot. I'm at work now, and be advised, I will try these things when I get home. I just want to get a head start and see if anyone else has experienced this and how they resolved it.
