Even though you see the error when you try to place a transition, the problem is actually caused by the clip you're applying the transition to. Sometimes the clip is too short or there might be something about how it was recorded that PD doesn't like, and the easiest way to fix this would be to use a different clip in your project, if possible.

If you don't have another clip that would work with your timeline content, you can try converting it to another format using a free app like Handbrake. Then replace the original clip with the new version.

If you're comfortable sharing the clip here on the forum, upload it to a cloud service like Google Drive or OneDrive and paste a link to it here so other people can test it and see if it can be fixed. Please see this FAQ for more info.

Quote I am getting this recently. Just some weeks ago. Not from the beginning. I dont have any idea what has been changed. I am using exactly the same video formats. So that couldnt be the problem.

If you're running under Windows 10 it may be that a recent update has changed something. If all else fails you can try reverting the system to an earlier date before the problem appeared.

Thank you so much for taking your time to send me a massage.

I dont get the error because of editing a specific type of file. I get this error just when I use a Transition from the Transition Room to put transition between 2 videos (see printscreen Editing Video Cyberlink 16 - Media Source Error Editing Video).
I am always editing the same type of mp4 files or MTS Files. It was never e problem. Something did happen to the program or with my computer in the last weeks.

I cant figure out what.

Thank you

I am using Windows 10 right now.

Maybe something did happen to the program or indeed with my computer in the last weeks. Because it was never a problem.

If I dont get any reply that can help, I will need to try reverting to another day to see.

Thank you.

I'm getting this same issue. The video plays fine until I add a transition then it gets error code 2 . Any updates on this?

No fix yet on this issue?

I noticed it started after a few update were released by PowerDirector so this issue is not with Windows.

This issue is always related to specific clips, and the standard workaround is to convert the clip to a better-supported format using a free third party app like Handbrake or VirtualDub2.
