In Videowave, I'm breaking video segments down into scenes for further use. I can Autodetect scenes, but then I don't see what to do with them. I can't seem to drag & drop them in the Storyline. Please let me know if this question makes sense.

Thanks for the video. When I follow it, I go from Show Media Selector to Auto Scene Detect; when I'm finished, I Stop Auto-Detect and click OK. Then Scene Detection closes, but I'm back in Media Selector with no scenes to select. There are no other AudioWave windows available.

What can the problem be?

It seems that you have deleted the second thread and reattached my comment to my first thread. Ok. My hope is that whoever answered my first question (by suggesting a helpful video) will see that I still have a problem.

I can't do anything with the scenes I detect in VideoWave by clicking OK after the scenes have been detected. The second window discussed in the video doesn't open up.

First, Scenes are only available from the Media Selector!

I suspect you are in Folders tab:

Scenes___Folders.jpg

In order to use Scenes, you must be in the My Media tab. The little arrow is a clue smile.gif :

Scenes___My_Media.jpg

You can create Scenes under either tab, but they are only usable from the My Media tab.

You're right--I was in Folders, but the problem persists.

I went to the My Media tab with the same result: after Autodetect, I have a frame full of scenes. I can play them, but that's all. I click OK, and the frame closes, leaving me where I started -- no usable scenes.

Thanks for staying with this. I can't drag them after Scene Detection before clicking OK. After clicking OK, all the scenes vanish. There are no scenes to drag. I'm in My Media.

laugh.gif  biggrin.gif  laugh.gif  OK, you will laugh too in a moment…

The little arrow in the corner is like an ‘Expand’ button. It allows you to see all of the Scenes like a tree.

While Expanded, you need to be able to ‘Collapse’ the tree of scenes to move on. To do that you click OK

Arrow = Expand
OK = Collapse

That’s it!

To use a scene, Drag it into your project while Expanded…

Not the way I would have done it, too inconsistant with the rest of the Program but it is the way they did it. (actually I used to print out all my screens and lay them on a big table to check for visual consistancy throughout my program. I ususally had it right by the 3rd or 4th printout  laugh.gif )

Tfhanks so much! Still laughing ... but still a problem -- a smaller one. What you suggested works perfectly -- on every file in my project except the one I was working on. The little arrow never shows up on that file. All the others just obediently sort themselves into scenes and wait for my orders. This one file never produces the little arrow. I can try recopying it; I can try editing by trimming it repeatedly. But do you have any ideas about why this file is messing up?

I have never used Scenes…

If I did I would never, ever, let a computer designate them for me!!!

Right click on the file in Media Manager and Select Scenes for yourself.
