Videowave problem.

[astramerit]

I recently installed Windows 7 Home Premium and found that all my Creator 9 works OK with the exception of one niggling fault in videowave.

When making a slide show and I have put all my pictures in, I can view a preview of the photos and it it plays OK.

But when I add a transition between the pictures this happens.

After a picture which is in landscape format and the next picture is in portrait format. They overlap on screen and the landscape is showing on both sides of the portrait.

Previously both sides of the portrait have always been black, or whatever colour I have the background set for.

This only happens when I have the production set to include transitions.

If I remove the transitions then all is fine.

Wonder if this is caused in any way by Windows 7.

Will it still happen if I buy the latest Creator 2010

Cheers.

Jim.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for replying. However after spending nearly all weekend trying to sort this out, I finally found the answer and it was so simple.

On the page where you make the video production, click on Tools at top of page then options.

The drop down has a heading at the top called "Render Using" and under that you have the choice to select either hardware or software graphics test.

Mine was set on Hardware but when I changed it to Software, the problem was cured immedietley.

Haven't got a clue what it meant but I had tried everything in desperation.

Many thanks again Frank for trying to help me.

Regards,

Jim.

 

What this means is that your video hardware is not capable of rendering some of the transitions, effects etc because the video card is not fully compatible with DirectX 9c or you have not updated to the latest drivers for the card. The transitions that will not work are the ones that are 3D labelled.

You're right again Frank.

I found that Directx wasn't even loaded on my computer so I installed it and now everything is working good.

I'm grateful for the help and the solution.

Kind regards,

Jim.

I hope that Walt will accept my humble apologies for not reading his post properly.

I'm probably getting to old and the grey matter not working fast enough. (nearly 80)

Sorry to Frank as well!

However, your help has been great and thank you all.

Jim.

Hey Jim, no problem at all and no need to apologize. I am sure I speak for Frank as well when I say that we are just glad that some of our advice sometimes helps

I experience the same problem in Creator 2010. What brand and model of video card do you have?

What time do you have set for each of the photos in the production and also what time do you have set for the transition between them ?? Just as a test, increase the time of each photo to around 7 or 8 seconds and set the duration time to say 1.5 seconds or so. What do you get then ??
