To say I've wasted a lot of hours is an understatement! Pinnacle support is dire and if it wasn't for the fact that I knew this system did work in the beginning I would have given up long ago. I've had 2 projects that I haven't been able to complete for the last 4 months - one group holiday that I was due to have ready for Xmas and have only been able to accomplish this at the weekend. When I moved from Pinnacle 8 to 9 - no real problems but then hit a brick wall with the rendering - this I now believe coincides with the loading of Pinnacle 9.4 patch. Like most other people my Pinnacle 9plus freezes on rendering the movie. I have been following this thread from the beginning. I hope I have helped someone else as the others on this forum unknowingly helped me. However, for now I am not searching for something else. Ultimately, I do not know if I will be throwing more money there way when it comes time to upgrade. If the company could have just come out with a tech note it would have saved them a lot of bad press. The user interface and capabilities increase significantly the bang for the buck. To be honest, I was willing to toss out the program a day ago. Prior to this simple fix I had done all the checking of memory, disk systems, and other imaginary hoops that are suggested by the Pinnacle web site. Fortunately, all that was there prior was background noise which when missing was not noticed with the background music. I found I did not need to trash the entire audio of the clips but only portions of the clips. Then I rendered with best quality to a file which later I made 5 copies of the DVD from. I then removed the audio associated with these 2 places. It came out wonderful.įrom selimap's suggestion I rendered to AVI which was a lot faster and allowed me to find the 2 places where the redering logic was getting hung up.
Pinnacle studio 9 plus movie#
After finishing reading the majority of this thread I have been given enough information to make my 68 movie render. I have been watching it for the past 4 days I finally got around to trying to finish my masterpiece 4 days ago and found it would hang during render. I have to say thank you to all who have replied to this thread. If Pinnacle support version 10 as well as they did version 9, it will cost you lots of time and money. They should not be allowed to get away with this, and I would urge Computeractive to check my facts, and then stop issuing a recommendation for Studio 10. Their response to this problem has been shocking they have sold a product which is not fit for the purpose for which it was sold. Pinnacle's solution to the problem was to introduce version 10, and ask users to upgrade. This problem does not exist in version 9.3. The program doesn't hang, just the rendering. This exhibits itself by the rendering process hanging mid-way through. When they issued version 9.4.3, (still the latest), there is a problem with the capture process. Some of your readers may still be struggling with Studio 9, and the appaling service which Pinnacle has provided for that product. I notice for a few issues now you have been recommending Studio 10, and have given it 5 stars. I sent the following email to Computeractive magazine I hope others in the UK will join me in urging Computeractive to stop recommending Pinnacle studio.
