VS express crashes while launching movie function

Post by kaitlinm »

I have VS express 2010 and when I go to the "Create" tab on the action bar and select "Movie", it loads for a second then it stops working and Windows closes the program. It also doesn't allow me to use the "QuickCut Timeline". I'm operating with Vista Home Premium 64. I have tried installing it twice and I have all applicable updates and patches.

It seems like a simple enough program to operate, so I have no idea what is causing this problem.

Welcome to the forums,

What type of video file(s) are you working with, DV, MOV, MPEG? Are they SD (standard definition) or HD (High-definition)?

You've applied all updates/patches for VS Express, however have you installed the latest DirectX update? You can download it from Microsoft's Download Center. Be sure to create a folder to extract the contents into, as it will extract numerous (157) files, most of which are *.cab files. Look for the file called DXSETUP.exe to install. Once you have installed it, just delete the folder you created and extracted the files into.
