Menu Problem: Scene Frames Don't Highlight When Selected

Hi Charlie

Do not get confused.

The message to ‘Change the project settings to match the video‘s properties’ is nothing to do with rendering.
It only changes the project settings to match the first video inserted to the timeline.

If you have selected not to show this message, it does not change the process, merely stops the pop up window.

The Change will take place on each and every NEW project, for the first video inserted.

It is a bit strange, but the pop up window option allows you to stop, select NO. To stop the change, without it they will happen any way

If you go to File---Preferences-Show MESSAGES when inserting first……..
And that’s what it is a MESSAGE…..

The above has nothing to do with the burner process.............

But again I have to ask ………

Can you confirm that you do re-render in the burner and get the message ‘This action will take some time to render’?

Trevor and all,

Thanks for all the suggestions. The problem is now solved, thanks in no small measure to your help.

For the record, I was not confused between the two dialog boxes in Trevor's last post. I did, at some point in the past, click "do not tell me about this again" or some such thing on the "this will take some time to render" dialog. I can find no way to reset it and no obvious registry key that stores this. I will open another thread here to see if anyone knows.

Trevor, I recommend you add to your tips that folks NOT turn this dialog off, as it is a useful warning, and there seems to be no obvious way to turn it back on. (It would help if it were worded, "The software must re-render this disk. Is that what you want?" or something more explicit. I never knew why that dialog added value. I just figured, "I'm preparing 3 GB. Of course it will take some time!")

In the end, there WERE differences in the video settings between the introductory (pre-menu) mpeg and the main (content) mpeg... but that was not the problem.

I am not completely sure what caused it. But it appears to have been the combination of the template I had orginally started with (Roma06), a very large background image (5823x4137 pixels), and the main content mpeg.

The fix involved (a) using a different base template (which I still customized), and (b) shrinking the resolution on the background image in my photo editor software.

Trevor, your ability to recreate the problem ultimately was the key. It led ME to recreate YOUR process. I kept doing things in a fresh project until I broke it. I then applied what I learned to fix the existing menu project... meaning I did NOT have to re-create the 17 chapters worth of in-points and thumbnails. Again, thanks for the time you spent helping.

Actually, this is a different dialog box.
