Good software between Pinnacle and Premiere??? |
|
|
I have been using Pinnacle Studio 9.5 plus for making DVDs and it worked
fine for my first few projects. Now... using the same everything (camera,
settings, etc) it just hangs up when trying to render for making a DVD. It
is frustrating and from what I read here, a common problem with Pinnacle.
It seems like Premiere Pro is liked a lot... but I can't afford the $700
price. Are there any good programs that is more reliable than Pinnacle and
less expensive than Premiere? (A LOT less expensive)
All I wish to do is to capture (using firewire), simple editing, add some
chapters and output to DVD. It would also be very nice (but I could live
without it) if I could make an uncopiable DVD as well. Does anyone have any
suggestions?

Wow, let me get this straight. You have been using Studio and it
worked fine, but now it does not. Is is possible that it not studio
the problem but something else.

Premiere Elements will likely do everything you need without all
the baggage of Premiere Pro. |

Re: Good software between Pinnacle and Premiere??? |

I wish I knew why it is hanging up right now. It edits great, I've added
the chapter marks, but I've tried 3 different times to render it and make a
DVD... the same exact process I went through several times before... and it
hangs up in the middle somewhere and just sits there. I found several
references to this happening in Pinnacle Studios in this site, as well as
complaints of the very same thing happening several places on the internet.
My first thought was "What am I doing wrong" and it still may well be me...
but I have no idea what it could be. I haven't done anything different.
The first thing I thought of to do was to shut down anything on my system
that might kick in unexpectedly and interfere. That hasn't made any
difference.
Do you have any ideas???
I'm still interested in other programs that are recommended by people who
use them. I don't totally buy into all the hype of advertisement.

Are you trying to burn with PS9 as well? Have you tried "create disc content
but don't burn" and use something else like Nero 6 to burn with?
Also, you might nose around the Pinnacle user forums. That's your most
likely place to find an answer. Pinnacle's actual tech support per say is
pretty useless for anything more involved than "How do I install Pinnacle
Studio?". |

It sounds like you may have to auxiliary files folder building up. Try to
move them to another drive or remove them altogether. Please post back if
this helps.

I for myself are very content with EditStudio 5 for editing
(http://www.puremotion.com/index.htm) and DVD-lab for authoring
(http://www.mediachance.com/dvdlab/index.html). These are programs that are
both relatively cheap and yet offer a lot of functionality. Both companies
also offer them as a bundle.

Yes, I have been trying to burn. I did try to just save to an AVI... which
made it stall again... but I wasn't too sure if one COULD just save to an
AVI when I already had the chapter marks, etc, in it. No I haven't tried
the option you suggested, and am very willing to try that, too. I have Nero
5 (not 6) Would that work? I'm pretty new to this and am stumbling my way
through hoping to learn as I go along. Can one add a menu and chapter
marks in one program and have it follow along to another program to burn???
Or does one have to re-do the chapter markings?

OK... that was dumb, and, no, I am not blond. It already WAS in AVI form,
so I don't know where my mind was when I tried that one. Sorry...

Sony has their Vegas Movie Studio program in the $100 range, and there
are a number of others in the arena as well. The entry level DVD
creation area is well represented with several programs that will take
you all the way from capture to burn. |

Look for Auxiliary files that build up when you use Pinnacle. You need room
for these files and if the software can not find them the program will hang.
You can delete the contents of the folders or move them and see if that
helps. |

Search. They would be on the drive you assigned to be the capture drive. I
hope I don't have to mention that it does not hurt to defrag. Some do this
each time they are about to start a project but it depends on how much and
often this is done and will not take as long if it is done more often. If
you are going to burn the same content it is good to create an image and
burn from that. Sometimes even if you are only going to burn once it may
solve some issues.
