Groundhog day #53

Pinnacle is being a bitch this morning ...... again.  Shocker, huh?  It was OKish yesterday in that it was slow at times but at least wasn't crashing, but this morning it crashes as soon as you try to add a clip.  I'm about 1m 20s into my SPN vid and haven't even started my SGA vids.  I'm trying not to get too wound up about it, so am off to play tennis then will try again after lunch.

Seriously, though, how patient have I been with this and how long have I tried to fix it?

I'm here for another 3 hours. I work from 10am to 7pm Central Standard. it's getting near the end of the day...i've been studying AVS scripts and reading up on it because I plan on teaching myself how to use Adobe Premiere and apparently AVsynth is very important.

Really? How so?

Adobe Premiere can't import AVI files but...it can import AVS files. Basically you can do all your clipping for a music video in a notepad file, save it as AVS import that into Adobe Premiere and then add your effects and move your clips around. Avsynth basically tricks the program into thinking it's uploading something else..at least that's how I understand it. I'm interested in going towards Premiere because it has a lot of features I like...but I'm still kind of waffling at the moment. Media Studio Pro also has wav form view and you can store libraries....it's just when you split by scene an episode into a library the program takes FOREVER to load...and it doesn't have a storyboard view, which I know sounds like a weird thing to want in a video editor but the timeline view squishes everything together and it's hard to see what clip you put in there.

Oh, I tried using this a while back with Adobe Premiere! It didn't like my XviD rips, so I tried out DivX and it worked okay until I tried to render the movie. It didn't like rendering and crashed. I still don't really know why... and gave up. :$ I'm so lost at the moment with vidding, nothing seems to work for me!

Right now I'm experimenting with Sony Vegas 6.0...but with xvid avi files I had the best results with Ulead Video Studio 9 and MediaStudio Pro.
