For some reason, if I try to "Save as Still Image" from a video file, the file it creates is a blank .jpg file. It has no file size. If I change the option in the preferences to .bmp, that works. It just won't create a .jpg. Any ideas?

I found that if I bring the original .avi that I captured into the project, I am then able to "Save as Still Image" from anywhere in the project. Then dicard the big raw file, and finish it up.

Hi

There are two options to saving an image.

From ¡¥Clip Mode¡¦ will save the image from the original file. (Clip-Save as Still Image)

From ¡¥Project Mode¡¦ will save the image as you see on preview screen (Tools-Save Current frame.....)

By the way have you manually updated Direct X, See Announcement at top of VS forum.

Must be a Vista problem. Most likely due to 64bit. VS is not really a 64bit program. Anyway a BMP file is better than a jpeg as it is not compressed. You will see that by comparing the file sizes.
