Re: Multiple Transitions

PapaJohn:

Just did a test with some older AVI files that I imported through Adobe on
an XP system. I think it is safe to say at this point that it is not souce
media problem. We have had the same problem with three different types of
files.

It either had to be a resource issue with the video card or a coding problem
with the application where a table or datastructure is running out of space.

Again my video card is a Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family.

I've seen enough posts about this issue... so I think it effects many and is
worth studying. But it's hard to do when I can't get it have the problem.

MM6 in Vista auto-splits at different points than MM2.1 in XP... and handles
DV-AVI source files captured by Vista differently than those captured by XP.
I thought maybe there's a connection somehow.

Plus I'm fishing for a good topic for my weekly newsletter.

It's weird PJ, as all the movies I made whilst beta testing Vista etc I
didn't run into this problem and I had files from my dv cam via firewire
and analogue files etc.

I imported a single 2 GB DV-AVI file, had MM6 'Create Clips'... put about
25 of them on the timeline, added a different transition between each pair
going from the first to the last....

No issues previewing the timeline and seeing the transitions... my system
is a Vista Home Basic one on a new $399 Toshiba Satellite laptop.

We might be working with different things without being able to
compare.... as my laptop doesn't have a firewire port I can't capture
with it from my mini-DV camcorder... so I'm using a file captured on my
XP laptop and copied to the Vista system. A capture with Vista may have
some file differences than a capture by XP.

I've saved movies with hundreds of transitions in the projects on Vista,
and the only time I've run into a transition not showing up was when the
project file came into it from an XP system and the transition used in
the project was one from the XP system that didn't exist on the Vista
one.

You are right that is what the doc says. I will double check the files.

You can test with the single file import it breaks with that as well.

I was going to do some testing tonight... but I'm a bit confused about
the
exact steps to take to get to where you have issues with the
transitions.

You say you used the option to import as separate files... from what
I've
seen that option gets you a pack of wmv files, not DV-AVI ones.
