order/ amount of stills one can insert into the time line

Post by brucefl »

I'll have to try the 01, 02, 03, 04, etc.
Mine are consecutively ordered,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. It seems they go in order for the most part except the last picture ends up first it seems. (though I havne't gone through them all too see if they are in order.

Another question, what is the limit on importing into vs10? 425? I have 444 right now, and if I try all of them VS10 crashes. I tried 420 seems ok.Is this a glitch? or just the program?
Thanks Bruce

There is no limit on the number of files being imported, you may run into problems with the total size of your files if you are dealing with large pictures.

Hi Bruce

Renaming your clips will make no difference to the way VS 10 inserts the images.

It may help in ordering them in windows, but VS 10 will still insert the last clip first. All others should be in order.

The problem also exists when inserting clips to the library, try dragging a few from the timeline to the library. Drag the first four then the next four and so on, You would expect a numerical order, not so.

Video Studio is not to proud, The problem is associated with all types of clips, even titles not just images.

Workround.:-

Insert to timeline
Drag and drop from the hard drive, drag the first selected clip.(important)


Insert from timeline to library.
Use copy and paste. Not drag and drop.

Dragging from library to timeline is ok.

You could of course insert the clips to the library then use the A/Z order option, Provided you have named them correctly, 001, 002, 003 etc

Hope this helps

Trevor

looks like a bother to have to check all of them

Thanks,
I will try dragging 25 or so at a time into the timeline.

The files range from 85kb to around 300, so multiply that by 400+, soon to be 500, guess they didn't think someone would bother scanning several albums.

Would be nice to fix the glitch(s), maybe next time. Hopefully there will be a next time.

I would like to see them add some of the stuff back from vs9, rather than keeping both versions.
Thanks guys, will try the suggestions.
