can't edit my movie clips at all....

Post by amoore »

Hello,
When I try to do any editing to my movie clips that I'm making a dvd with they completey freeze up. They will play and you hear sound however it's frozen on the first frame the whole time. This happens if I try to do anything at all to any clip. I also went to the preview part and it completely skips two of my clips. Oddly enough when you are in the editing "mode" you can view them... I'm trying to make a video of horses we have for sale and it seems quite impossible! I made a picture slideshow with no problems, now this... Please help me I'm soooo confused with all this. Thanks!!

You didn't tell us anything about the format of your your clips, or what type of camera they came from. The Read This First.. post at the top of the forum tells you what we need to know.

Your clip may be corrupted. (A corrupt video file will often play-back OK, but cause trouble when converted or edited.) The more-compressed formats are most prone to problems. You may need to convert your file to a less-compressed format with a 3rd-party program....
