The movie not downloading / rendering correctly

tamara-s wrote on 8/31/2022, 1:47 PM

I have made a few videos, and the sound is good, but the video is not. It comes out with black screens, and moves at a different pace, sometimes even showing slides that have been deleted. I have rendered a couple of these videos a few times each and get a different visual on each one. How do I prevent this from happening?

Hi and welcome to the forum.

. . . . and the sound is good, but the video is not. It comes out with black screens, and moves at a different pace, sometimes even showing slides that have been deleted. . . .

Download and install MediaInfo and analyse one of the clips used in the project, see this tutorial on how to setup MediaInfo and analyse a video clip for all the data required.    

In the Video section of the analysis if you see this line:

  • Frame rate mode      : Variable

    The video clips require converting to Constant Framerate using a converter such as Handbrake or AviDemux. and re-importing into the project.

    OR
     
  • the video file is an AVI file with the video Format as AVC or h.264

    The video clips require converting to MP4 file type encoded as AVC or h.264 using a converter.
     

There may also be some incorrect settings in the program for the graphics card/chipset in your PC or laptop if the above does not work, or the video is already Constant Framerate.

In which case post the MediaInfo analysis and your computer specification, Windows version and program version, see this topic for what is required and please quote processor and graphics card make/model in full, and also what monitor/screen resolution(s) your are working with if this is a laptop. 

I would suggest you put your computer specification in your profile signature so we do not have to keep asking for it - see my signature as an example.

Are the graphics card drivers up to date?

A screen shot of the Program settings, Display options or Device options tab  would help.

If you have Movie Studio 17, you're on the wrong forum. This post has a link to the correct forum:

https://www.magix.info/us/forum/vegas-pro-post-and-movie-studio-users-please-read-here-first--1229563/

All my forum comments are based on or refer to my System 1.

My struggle is over! I built my (now) system 2 in 2011 when DV was king and MPEG 2 was just coming onto the scene and I needed a more powerful system to cope. Since then we've advanced to MP4 and to bigger and bigger resolutions. I was really suffering, not so much in editing (with proxies) but in encoding, which just took ages. A video, with Neat Video noise reduction applied, would encode at 12% of film speed. My new system 1 does the same job at 160% of film speed. Marvellous. I'm keeping my old system as a capture station for analogue video tapes and DV.
