Rendering Issues

[molt_llest]

A have a couple of projects that Videostudio 2019 can not render.
- The source of the whole project is one video filmed with an iphone and a few images
- One time a message of "failed to read video" came up at the end of rendering and it didn't save the video
- Since then, I don't get any message but when it finishes rendering the video, it is not saved. It's nowhere to be found
- I have some other projects recently where doing the same type of project I didn't have any issue rendering the video

Any idea what can be the issue and how to fix it?

Welcome to the forum.

Were the projects which did not have any problems filmed on the iphone?

Can you please right click one of the problem clips in the Video Studio timeline and copy all its Properties here either in writing or as a screenshot. That way we will have a better idea of what we are dealing with. A lot of modern smartphones use variable frame rates, and Video Studio has trouble with that. To fix that particular problem, our usual advice is to put the video through a video converter program like the freeware Handbrake and convert it to a new clip with similar properties but, importantly, a constant frame rate. That would be, for example, 25 frames per second, or 50, if you are using a PAL camera, or 29.97/59.94 fps (usually rounded out to 30/60) if your camera is NTSC.

Thanks for the reply.

After I record the video with the Iphone I consolidate all the clips with iMOvie before I export it to the computer and start editing. I have done the same process with the other projects I have done.

I have attached a picture of the properties.

I have converted the source file with Cyberlink Power Director. How can I relink the project to a new source video but keeping the editing of the project? I have never done that
