Titling formats in Pro X3

Post by ZL52 »

I am new to Pro X3 and am having problems with titling when creating a DVD. I haven't found the programme intuitive at all with no indication of where to start with creating a title format and chapters. Having finally found it , under creating a DVD under Tools, hardly obvious, I found that there was a drop down list of formats under Fun and Historic but no indication of how to create ones own format. Help was of no help at all.
I searched the forum but could find only one item which appeared to offer some help but on opening it found the video section was blocked out with the usual red cross in the corner to show it wasn't available. I have the latest upgrade of Direct X which I imagine should have opened it.
I tried to open my own folders to obtain a photo. but the programme failed to open anything. The programme folder had a whole lot of irrelevant files, Harry Potter, Cameron etc. which I assume came with the programme. I've deleted all these. Will this have created a problem and should I reinstall the programme? If I do then I assume I will lose the video I've already made. A lot of hours work to lose. Incidentally, I've found the programme is prone to freezing. Very frustrating. Any help that can be given would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in anticipation.

Welcome to the forums,

It sounds like you're using DVD Factory 2010, which is a terrible program. Once you have purchased, registered with Corel, AND after 3 days, you should have the option to download DVD MovieFactory 7 SE. Corel released this to replace DVD Factory 2010. Download and install DVD MovieFactory 7 SE, and also if you have not installed Updates and Patches, do so. Service Pack 1 makes the option of DVD MovieFactory 7 SE available in VS. I think you'll find it can do what you're wanting.
