Adding special effects issues

[LexLuthor]

After I make a slide show using slideshow assiatant I try to add special effects with Video wave, when ever I try to select a effect ie: the text effect, adding clip art/pics causes my computer to hang. What can I do Im at the point of looking for another media software

Forget the Assistant. It is know to cause that problem. Open VideoWave, and create your production.

You can't really judge a piece of software by their HELP forum. After all, that is why the forum was created. Before purchasing other software, perhaps you should check out the forums for Adobe, Pinnacle, and Ulead or any other potential candidate. You will see just as many problems and horror stories. There is no piece of software works perfect on 100% of all machines.

 

EMC 9 works perfectly fine for the large majority of users even a percentage of Vista users report that it works. To take fully advantage of what Videowave/MyDVd have to offer, you MUST have a good video card. You don't need a expensive one. Just one that fully supports DirectX 9. You also need updated drivers and the latest updated to Direct X 9.

 

I have taken my computer to the experts and this is what they told me, I had numorous Video editig programs I downloaded from the internet I was told to remove them all that they may be conflicting the software and to go to www.download.com and download a regerstry cleaner, so thats exactly what I did.

 

Now there are only 3 Photo editing programs on my computer, the one that came with it, Adobe Photo Elements, and Roxio's Easy Media Cretor 9 , My regersty had 1200 things that needed fixing, and after all that even though the program now loads much faster I still cannot access any thing other than addphotos or add Audio from the Add content or the tools section of Video Wave. I couldn't even make credits listing all that showed up to the wedding like I wanted to. the strange thing is I was able to acess the add text selector on my first production but have not one every production since, the hanging hourglass and constant crashing has frustrated me and I refuse to pay $35.00 to have some one make this software run like it supose to inthe first place. I wish this software did what it supose to

 

There could be a multitude of reasons that it isn't working, but I can't see your computer. Try shutting down any unecessary programs, including RoxWatch, Drag to Disc, and anything else Roxio.

 

You can do this via msconfig.

 

LoL maybe ust delete every thing Roxio and go with another Video edditng software

Thanks will keep that inmind no assistants

 

Nope that didnt work when I loaded Video wave 9 and selected Create a new project got a message videowave 9 has encountered a problem and needs to shut down, I am tired of messing with this looser software, Ii dont know what the problem is and after a week trying to get this krap to work I really don't care, Im going to try another software. $70.00 flushed down the toilet, what is causing all these failures I read the fourms and it is filled with commits about people having problems, there slogin " Your music, memories, movies and more any way you want " should read any way you can get it before it locks up your computer. this is the first time for me using Media software but it dosnt take a rocket scientist. Is it too much to ask, for a product that works

Did you try a <a href="http://kb.roxio.com/content/kb/Creator/000086CR" target="_blank">Clean install</a>?

Make sure you install it on a Windows Administrator user account.

Yes I used the online suport and did a clean install, but tht was before I cleaned out my computer ill call the free suport number maybe that can walk me through somthing I havent done yet Thanks

 

I completly removed the content portion again this time it did not lock up when I removed it, I then used the repair option restarted my computer cleaned my regestry with computer mechnic i got from downlod .com then reinstalled the content disk Good News!!! it worked when I cliked on the add content menu i get a selection to choose from now and no hanging hour glass. but it stil didnt bring upa text window but i was ale to work arround that by typing the text I wanted then edditing te text by double clicking the little butterfly in the add text slider atthe bottom of the screen then selectig scroll and choosing the trpe of scrolling I wanted.

 

In summary I had to

1. delete all programs in add/emove that I was no longer using

2. Cleanout my regestery I used PC Mechanic Which Idwnloaded from www.download.com

3. Remove the content program with add/remove programs

4. Repair EMC9 uing the repair option on the EMC9 Program CD

5. Restart my computer

6. Reinstall EMC9 content from the Content CD

 

I don't know if that fixed all the problems but I can now put scrolling text on my productions Finished finally whew
