Hello,

As a newcomer to AVS4 I am having a share of the kickstart problems. (Day two).
A further complication is that I am a LINUX user and my mailer is here, preventing a dialog while in WinXP.

What I want to do;

I have three Chapters of a video installed and need to create an opening screen containing a Name, followed by 3 "Radio buttons" related to the chapters and returning to the opening screen after playing that chapter.

Without a manual I cannot find a way to accomplish this. I have an understanding(?) that the buttons need to be "Created" before this is done?

Any tips, hints, comments and help would be very welcome.

Hello,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to create the DVD menu exactly as you described.

I would recommend you to use AVS DVD Authoring software for creating DVD menu and use New Custom Project mode where you will be able to create DVD menu as you wish. Please find the manuals here.

Should you need more assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Regards.

Does the problem persist when you use any video file in any project you create or only in one particular project? Please try to place an image file on the main video timeline and inform if the problem remains.
Also try using the solutions offered in this thread: 1) make sure you display color quality is set to 32-bit, the instructions are given in this post 2) try updating drivers for your video and audio cards.

hi,
thx for your reply

the problem is in this file only, and in other files that i save from now, not in the other latesest savings file in this project.

i updated the video drivers, and no change.
..there is 1 change. now i can't see the image files in main window (see the jpg attached).
):
plz other suggestion, thx
gabi

To: gabi

Thank you for the information.
Can you still add new image files to media library or they also get invisible?
If possible please try to import another image file to media library and place it on the main video timeline, then add text on the image and specify if you still get preview or text editing window black.
Regards

I can not get the Editor to play or any sound. I have been offered a long list of things to try by VS but THAT is not good enough... Please read my reply..

All i wanted was a simple programme. I dont want to have to rebuild my PC to operate AVS so therefore I will find something that works as it should. If Movie Maker can be made to function without spending a week on trail and error, why cant your programme?
I`m sorry but I you should have these bugs ironed out yourself before you market the product, not expect us to do it for you.

We must assure you that the software is tested thoroughly before release, all bugs are eliminated. However, the problem might be connected by specification of a particular file that you have. If you could provide us with this file that would become possible to reproduce the problem and correct it. Otherwise we can hardly offer any solution, as the problem cannot be reproduced on our part. We have sent you the uploading instructions on the support page and thank you in advance for understanding.

Hope to hear from you soon

Hi Guys,

I'm new to AVS and I've downloaded the latest version of Video Editor on a full licence, I cannot view anything in the preview screen, what's the point of the programme if you can't preview? It's pointless! Can I get my money back? I don't like being sold something that doesn't do what it claims to do!!!

If there's a fix I'd like it now or the whole lot will 'go back to the shop'!

Very disgruntled of London!

New to AVS as of 2 days ago, at this stage I just have the trial version and was planning to buy the full license, but given the problems with preview I'm reconsidering.

I'm running Windows XP, already at 32-bit colour. First time I used the programme, everything was fine and preview worked. Second time, it would play the sound but just a black screen for video. I shut the programme down and restarted it, and preview worked again. This morning I've opened and closed the programme 3 times and had no luck - still just a black preview with the audio. Ran the software soon after booting up the PC so I don't think that's going to fix anything.

Thought this was a great bit of software initially, now really disappointed at the lack of a proper fix for this problem :(

Please specify if you have the black preview if you playback video files from the media library or from the timeline, or from both?
If only the files from the timeline, and you saved them as a project .vep4 file, please attach it here.
Best regards

To: Nat


I get the black preview from both the media library and the timeline.

I am new to AVS VIDEO Editor - I created a Video using a mixture of JPG/MOV with Mp3 files - I used the TIMELINE to do this - when I had finished creating the Video I went into STORY BOARD to add Transition effects. The net result of thios is that it NO LONGER recognised MP3 files - ie, they will not play when I preview. I deleted the Mp3 file and attempted to re add it.. systems syas " unsupported file format" - it was an MP3 file which previously worked. Im using the latest version with a FULL license. Any ideas?

My version of AVS Editor is 4.2. (Purchased this month on 1st July)
I have two problems:
1) importing an .flv file often fails. There is a kind of freeze-up with the hourglass icon staying on.
I need to tap the ALT & F4 keys. Then a message comes: Programm not responding. Type END NOW option to end the program.
At times the import works. WHY IS THIS PLEASE?

2) Once a video file is imported, the preview does NOT show the whole screen as seen when played on WM or REAL player. What preview window typically shows roughly the top left quarter of the original screen but enlarged to fit the window. When played on the preview window, only this truncated version is played and only this version is edited. This is a serious error. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIT THE WHOLE ORIGINAL VERSION INTO THE PREVIEW PLEASE?
