Video Movie Making

Be sure your in import mode and select the movie box with either s-video or video and play the vcr

is the video a few seconds faster than the sound. Like you'll see a mouth talking then hear it a second or two later?

Let me know what happen.

hi there,

you can find the manual here :
Pinnacle Pinnacle Studio Ultimate Version 11
and in other languages please look here :
ftp://ftp.pinnaclesys.de/Manual/Studio%2011/


I suggest to look under the word :
Scene detection ...............26
The Video Scenes section ....... 40
CHAPTER 9: DISC MENUS.... 175
Output to disc media ... 243

Have a nice computing
Hope that helps
IF NOT then try to return here

Please rate my answer

Suggest for that is to delete that part which is the transition then after that put a new one save it then try making a disc again. Another is if your Studio 11 not yet install the patch I suggest to you to visit Pinnacle web site then download the patch. http://pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us/Products/Consumer+Products/Home+Video/Studio+Family/Studio+Plus+11+Support/Download+Area/Drivers+-+Updates/Studio+11_1_2+patch.htm?mode=documents&Display=1

I have also been running into an MPEGENCODER.DLL error about 1/2 way through my 20 minute movie. I am able to Make Movie with a 6 minute version, but hitting this error time and time again. I have removed Virus protection and all unessential system tray loads; defragged drive; downloaded newest Windows drivers; downloaded newest NVIDIA drivers; running Win XP Pro SP3, Intel 3GHZ, 1GB RAM, 76GB/10K spin drive.

I dragged the video I wanted to the end of the time line after deleting the video I wanted to replace from the edited video. I then used the razor tool to cut to what I needed, copied it and pasted it to where I wanted it on the timeline. I then sized it to fit, and deleted the video from the end of the timeline. Not very fancy, but it worked.

try to use pinnacale software...

Hello welcome to FIxya!

Here you can check this procedure on how to open your files again.

"1) Check your Recycle Bin
2) Do a Folder/File Search for each of the Grey Folder Project names. This will display all Folders & Files with that Project Name. You are looking for an .stx File. If it's there, right-Click on Project Name / Open Containing Folder & Copy it to your My Projects Folder. Then you should have both the Grey Folder & .stx File for the same Project name, showing in your My Projects Folder.
If the Search doesn't display a .stx File, you can create a new one, by Opening a New empty Project, which will create a My Movie Grey Folder & a My Movie .stx File, Save to your My Projects Folder. Delete the My Movie Grey Folder & Rename the My Movie .stx File to the same name as your original Grey Folder."
So ...after finding my "lost" movie file, with its file name, under Documents\Pinnacle Studio\My Projects i then went through the following procedures using your great advice Colour;

1. Make a copy of your found "lost" movie grey film icon file by right mouse clicking on your lost file and choosing "copy". Paste the copy into another folder in Documents where you can find it if need be
2. Then go back to Documents\Pinnacle Studio\My Projects and right mouse click onto your grey film icon. Choose "rename". Then rename your "lost" grey film icon to a new file name but do not put .stc at the end of the file name, if you are operating VISTA and Pinnacle 12. This is important because Pinnacle 12 won't recognise the file later if you have .stc in the file name
3. Open Pinnacle and go to the File Menu
4. Click on New Project
5. Open File Menu again and click on Save File as
6. Give the file a name such as "Movie 7" and save it
7. Close out of Pinnacle
8. Open up Documents\Pinnacle Studio\My Projects and observe that you now have 2 new files there ...a grey film icon file saying Movie 7 AND a coloured Pinnacle icon file saying Movie 7
9. Delete the grey icon file with the file name Movie 7
10. Now give your coloured Pinnacle icon file the exact same rename as your precious "lost" renamed grey movie icon file, using the right mouse click on rename proceedure as explained in No.2 above.
11. Close out of Documents file
12. Now open up Pinnacle again
13. Go to Menu and choose Open Project
14. There you will see the coloured Pinnacle icon file with the new name of your "lost" movie file.
15. Click onto its coloured Pinnacle icon, and watch your "lost" movie come into view again
    

I have had similar messages with Pinnacle 9 (dives you mad :() The solution is to download the latest upgrade version from Pinnacle's website. Pinnacle 11 seems to be bug free.
