Has Corel given an ETA on a fix for this issue? and will it be in the form of a patch or s/w upgrade?

As far as I am aware, Corel has given no information about when, or even if, the problem will be fixed. They have asked this forum for sample clips to test with, which at least indicates a intention to investigate the problem.

It is a sad to see that Corel doesn't work harder on these issues with AVCHD. The last patch was more than half a year ago.

I bought X2 a few months age. But still am not happy using it with all these problems.

It is my guess that they would rather focus their resources on a new version, rather than trying to fix an "old" one.

Do you know when new version will be released?

I hope we get this new version for free than! They sell X2 as the solution for editing HD. It clearly isn't yet and I get the feeling it might never be.

I hope I am wrong.

I hope I am wrong. Exclamation

I think removing what you said in between these two statements actually gives you the answer!!!

I have no clue. With Ulead you could count on a new version around the same time every year. Corel doesn't seem to run on the same schedule.

I hope we get this new version for free than!

I downloaded your SD9 files from megaupload and then uploaded them to Corel's ftp site where they are collecting the files that show examples of this problem.

Interesting:
I arrived at this forum after searching for this problem, so it's nice to know its not just my gear that has it.
When I first installed this version of VS (unpatched at the time) and did a quick edit of the material I've posted in a link below, I had no problems: the title didn't cause any issues at all. Unfortunately I think I have deleted the end product as it was just a 'play'.
Since that initial good test I've installed AnyDVD and a pile of codecs and ffdshow to rip DVD material: maybe something in that lot has upset VS?
(The program 'asks' about excluding ffdshow, but it makes no odds to the results). The patch has not helped this issue.
Judging from my clip and that of dalemccl, Panasonic files have a bigger problem than the Canon or Sony, in that the video doesn't recover when it hits the end of a title or transition, it just keeps cycling (but the file and audio continue to move on). The only way to recover stable video is to click on the player's timeline to move to a different point.
I've posted my short bad sample at:-
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LA2ZBI8T

Not sure if it's been mentioned above, but if the project is rendered in a lesser format (eg mpeg2) all is well.

EDIT: I remmeber that my succesful edit didn't use the 'same as first clip' setting to create the video file. I used one of the disk authoring tools, probably to make a Blu-Ray file. Today I made an AVCHD diisk, and the titles and fades didn't cause the same problem. The video quality though was poor, with degraded detail and sections of the scene 'twitching'.
I'm going to try Power Director 7.

Hi

I've got my ticket (see here) replied.
Basically they still collect input, analyze problem and any date for fixpack/whatever is unknown.

I don't think the problem is rare, and they don't even offer any workaround for it (!), so VS is, like many consumer software, treated now in a "sell it and forget it" manner :/
I don't know any other consumer video editing software that is maintained so unprofessionally.

I don't have an AVCHD camcorder, but have a sample .m2ts files 1440 x 1080i, NTSC, Dolby 5.1. The clip was shot with a Sony HDR-CX7. I got rid of the blips by trimming 18 frames from the head and 18 frames from the tail of each clip involved in the transition using the multi-trim trimmer. I did that before I applied the transitions.

I believe it is important to trim both ends of the clip. I decided to not trim the head of the first clip on the timeline, and I ended up with a blip at the start of the transition with the next clip. I got rid of that blip by trimming 18 frames from the head of the first clip on the timeline.

Since I don't have lots of these clips, I can't say for sure that trimming will get rid of the blips on transitions with all clips or that 18 frames is the magic number. One second is what I started with and worked my way down to 18 frames. Below 18 frames and the blips show up.
