videostudio pro x6 stalling

[Orlando]

Hello, I have tried twice sharing a 26-minute video that I have been editing to obtain an mp4 1920x1080 product and both times it has stopped at 41% of the process and showed me the legend: "an internal error occurred when overlap buffer is full." I have recently rendered other projects with similar characteristics without any trouble. Thank you.

So what do you have at the 41% point that causes the error?

PLease gives us some information to work with. What kind of edits? What are your source videos, properties? Are you adding transitions, effects, audio....

Do a google search on that error message and you will get lots of hits. Perhaps you find a solution there.

Thank you Canuck. Well, the window where you get the search for a solution on line didn't come up. Only the warning that the overlapping buffer was full. The only option was to click OK. I did that, the window disappeared, and after a while, instead of the whole job's going back to zero, the rendering continued without my doing anything . This happened about three times for the rest of the session until it finished. One thing I did at some point was to empty the trash bin. I never got to go to the 41% point to check what was there exactly, but the next time I will.

I wanted to ask also, concerning the same job, because it's something I haven't found in the user's manual, whether I can put a vsp video on the time line, whose voice, text, and music lines are open, and cut off a segment somewhere in the middle, for instance, which I might need by itself. The question would be: how do I eliminate in one single operation everything before it, and everything after it. Thanks again.

Before posting a new question why not answer the questions asked?

I think he didn't bother answering your questions because his original problem solved itself...

Hello, concerning Canuck's question about why I didn't answer his questions before posting a new question, Ken is right. Since the problem was solved automatically I thought the most thoughtful thing to do was not to cause you any more trouble by having you analyse the data I could submit about my project. I am a 76-year-old beginner in digital (I have been an actor and producer in conventional film) and formerly, ambassador of my country to the USSR, and an international civil servant for the OAS in D.C., and as you may understand there is a lot I ignore about digital having been so busy with so many other things. I am also a professional musician and have put on many a show and produced many a programme of different kinds, as a writer as well. But, for instance, I wouldn't know how to answer the "kind of edits" question (don't know there are kinds of edits, I thought it was just one kind), etc. Nevertheless, I have just finished my own 90-minute fiction film, a satirical drama, which I have done singlehandedly doing everything from the script to shooting, music, narration, editing, effects, props, directing, acting, with a cast of over 100 of seven nationalities and dialogues in 4 languages. The University of Costa Rica (state) has already become interested in my film and has started doing a documentary on myself and the film. But what's more important, I did it without financing, without resources of my own other than my work, without sponsors. It's a one-man project literally, with my nephew's camera (I don't even have my own), but I proved it could be done in a homemade style, with an obsolete VS Pro X6 and with an image and sound quality that you would think might be professional, and I have some criteria to say so having been an actor, photographer and radio broadcaster during some periods of my life. I thought this story could be of interest to all those who don't have the millions of dollars, especially in Third World countries, to do 90 minute fiction. Thank you very much all of you (my apologies, Canuck) for all the help provided. If I may I might have other questions for the forum some other time. Have a good day.

Thank you for all that background detail. I too was once an Ambassador for Australia in Chile, Peru and Bolivia, so we share that in common. And ¡felicitaciones! for your film work with VS X6.

I wanted to ask also, concerning the same job, because it's something I haven't found in the user's manual, whether I can put a vsp video on the time line, whose voice, text, and music lines are open, and cut off a segment somewhere in the middle, for instance, which I might need by itself. The question would be: how do I eliminate in one single operation everything before it, and everything after it.

Since you have finished your film, I suspect you probably don't need an answer to this question either. But if not, then we probably do require just a little more information. Do you mean you want to insert the actual .vsp file into the timeline, or do you just mean you want to open the vsp file as you normally would open any project? If the former, then you wouldn't be able to do it with X6 since it did not allow editing of actual vsp files in the timeline. They could be included in another project vsp file, but could not be edited. This only came with more recent versions of Video Studio.

If you are talking about simply opening the .vsp file as a normal project, then you would need to look at the Manual for X6 in the section relating to ripple editing. But personally I would have to say that could potentially be a messy job -- though should work. Again only personally, I would probably try to avoid that much work by simply noting the names of the various files (video, music, text, voice) in the section I wanted to retain. Then I would create a new project and go to where those files are stored and insert them into the new project, and do any editing all over again, then render out that project to a new video file. One thing you might not be aware of is that this type of digital editing is virtual. All the original files in a project remain untouched where they are stored, despite anything you might have done by way of editing in the project. So you can always go back and start all over again if you want.

Hopefully, though, someone else might have suggestions for doing it the way you describe but in a simple way.

As for "kinds of edits", these would include cuts, adding music and voice, applying filters and adding transitions, titles and subtitles...

And don't worry about age. I am 68 but some of my colleagues and other regular users here would regard me as the young kid on the block!

Thank you very much, Ken. I have to log out now, but will add some information in connection with your post tomorrow. Interesting!

Hi

Like Ken I am not exactly sure what you wish to do.

1 / Select a section in the middle of your project and render just that to a new video file.
2 / Split your project into three, removing all clips from the first and third sections, retaining the middle in sync.
3 / Simply add your project to another project, effectively nesting. X6 does not support that,
but there is a workround by creating a Instant Project of your project.
