Thread: Video Editing Help

Hi Phil I had a similiar problem with the output of edited video that was related to using one program to capture the video and another to edit. Finally realised the program for capture had a native codec that wasn't supported by the editor. Are you using Ulead to capture as well as edit?

Originally I wasn't but I have tried it also by capturing with Ulead with the same result

Have you looked to see if there is a forum or help site for the product. I use Pinnacle Studio and it has its own forum which is very helpful.


The only time I have had a similar problem to yours is after I first bought my 3CCD camera. I was getting ver jerky movements after editing and it ended up my computer was not fast enough. Apparently the 3CCD causes a lot more data to be processed (or some crap like that) and the AMD processor could not cope. I installed a new motherboard with Intel processor and it all worked fine. Unfortunatley it took me ages and a lot of frustration to work out the problem.

I was looking at latest Adobe Premier and it wouldn't install on my AMD sys, it required
Intel® Pentium® 4 (2GHz processor for DV; 3.4GHz processor for HDV), Intel Centrino®, Intel Xeon® (dual 2.8GHz processors for HD), or Intel Core™ Duo (or compatible) processor; SSE2-enabled processor required for AMD systems.

* is the jerkiness only when you are viewing the capture on Ulead software or when you have burnt the final copy?
I found that I got some jerky spots on preview, but the finished product was spot on.

Yes, when I was looking through a foeum on video editing I noticed that a lot of people where having problems with their AMD processors.

I record onto mini DV tapes, and if I play back from the camara to the TV it is perfect. The video is also good once captured onto the PC. The problem arises after editing when I am about to create a DVD.

Your system should be fine. I edit videos on my AMD XP3200+ system using Premiere Pro. I usually export as an AVI and then use Sonic DVDit6 to do the menus and burn to DVD. My DVDs never have any jerky motion.

Have you tried playing the DVD in a different player? Perhaps it is the player rather than the DVD. I find mine play better in our DVD player than they do on my computer.

I love this forum

Ok DiscoCam was right I think. I have unistalled Ulead and deleted all video captured on my pc. I then installed Pinnacle studio 10 and used that to capture the video.

and

IT WORKS

Thanks everybody

That was both. I have toasted a few DVD's in sorting this out

But it is all good now
