Question by Me Me: I use Pinnacle Studio 9 to make home movie dvds and I’ve always had problems with it. I hate it…l?
I use the Studio 9 to take little home movie clips and set them to music, and then I send them to family and friends. Ever since I got this program it has been nothing but problems. It doesn’t matter if I use storyboard view or timeline view, the clips appear to be side by side with NO GAPS in between them and then when I play the movie, there is a gap between each clip. It goes black and then the next clip comes on, but I have the transition already picked (I think it’s the 2nd transition on the list), the one where the clip fades into the next one, with NO black in between each clip. This is driving me absolutely crazy.
Also, I will be usuing storyboard view and I’ll be dropping clips into each box, and then when I play the movie, they have LONG gaps in between them. When I switch over to the timeline view you can see them, a small clip at 1 minute, then another small clip (literally 10 sec long clips) then one at 7min, one at 10min into the movie, etc. What am I doing wrong?
It’s so hard to explain what I see on my computer screen but I hope someone can shed some light on what I’m doing wrong. Everything appears to be going side by side, with no gaps in between. I will spend days or weeks working on a project, only to find these black spots in between each clip….with NO explanation why because it looks normal!
Also, is there a way if you delete a clip it will close the gap WITHOUT changing the length of the rest of the clips to compensate for the deleted one? I want it to scoot ALL of the clips down to close the gap rather than to change the length of clips that I have already designated to be a certain length. I hope someone can help me on this. I’ve read the manual and nothing seems to shed light on this problem. I’ve been having this problem for years.

your transition time is set for longer than your effects. and you have the default settings for each clip to fade to black before starting the next clip. go through the options and clear out any time constraints, and any “automatic” transitions, also set your transition effects to 2 or 3 seconds or even 0 seconds, that way each clip will play into the next with the transition effect carrying over through the first second of the new and out of the last second of the old.
Or use the built in moviemaker and see how that one works
or get Nero
