THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have SO many videos I could never upload anywhere, and it bugged me for weeks! Thanks for the great advice!
ReplyDeleteI used my new Canon Vixia F11 ( bought June this year) to record our summer vacation. It came with ImageMixer 3 for capturing and Pixela software for editing programs. Unfortunately, Pixela required 2.33 GHz of processing speed for editing work and my Laptop,( HP Pavilion with Windows Vista Home Premium installed) bought in 2008, has only 2.10 GHz of processing speed. Because of this, there was a synchronization problem.
ReplyDeleteI therefore exported my video clips from ImageMixer 3 to Movie Maker 2 and then imported them to folders where I edited them using Movie Maker 2. I saved often and played the created Timeline in the Preview monitor window with no glitches.
I then Published the video to a new DVD-RW disc directly from my Movie Maker project (not from Windows DVD Maker page). Movie Maker info for the disc said I had 86 minutes (2.83 GB) of edited video out of 150 minutes on the disc. My C drive has 285 GB of which 141 GB are free. I have 4.00 GB of memory.
At first, the burning process would only do about 70% and then stop. I finally got the burning process to do a 100% burn. On playback in my DVD player (JVC Combo DVD/VHS player bought in 2008) I got the glitches (pixelated or mosaic-appearing glitches) every so often on the burned disc - after about 50 minutes of playback. I tried my Panasonic DVD player with the same result.
I tried Publishing the edited movie going through the Movie Maker project/Publish route to my laptop At the start of the Publishing process I got a message saying the time remaining was 67 minutes and a progress bar reading 0%. The Publishing process to my laptop got as far as 76% and then stopped processing (the time remaining showed 14 minutes). A message came up saying the publishing was not complete and was I sure I wanted to cancel the process (Yes/No). I hit No and the message disappeared. Then a strange thing happened: the time remaining went up (i.e. to about 24 minutes) but the 76% never changed! The message about the publishing process not being completed etc. came up again, and after hitting No again the message disappeared. Again the time remaining increased (eventually to 134 minutes) but the 76% remained the same. I gave up and hit Yes at that point. Of course, nothing was published to the computer.
The files that were imported from my Canon to the laptop were AVCHD with file properties type: H 264.
I have been told I need to convert the AVCHD files to avi. Files acceptable by Movie Maker. As I have edited my AVCHD files in Movie Maker how do I convert the edited files in a Timeline to avi. Files?
Hope you can come up with a solution.
Ray
