WMM Errors, Delays, Audio Problems, And Frusterations.

Postby Bargadiel » Mon Sep 03, 2007 2:30 pm

Alright...I have been making videos for a long time now, and I used to never encounter problems with WMM...However, starting about 5 months ago, it seems to be getting worse and worse each time I use it.

1. When I play a clip on the time line, and try to pause/replay it, it DOES not and WILL not play anything on the time line again until I just delete the time line all together and put new clips on it....

2. When I play a song on the time line with video, then pause/rewind it. It plays the song from a different time, not matching the way I intended it to. Meaning I have to play the video from the beginning each time to time the music without pausing. However, when I save the movie file, the song is timed correctly, it just makes it VERY INCONVEINIANT to edit.

3. When trying to play the time line period....after awhile, WMM just crashes. I cannot make AMVs until this is all fixed.

These are the worst of the problems, and I would really appreciate it if someone could give me advice on how to fix, or answers regarding these issues.

I don't know about the other 2 but I can answer #3: the crashes are just a part of WMM, it happens all the time and no way to fix it.

Also, your sig is too big.

not inches, its PIXELS.

#1

What kind of clips you're using? Sure you know already that you shouldn't be using DivX or XviD compressed clips? :roll:

#2

This used to happen to me when I was trying to edit by using a downloaded .mp3 compressed song. Use lossless WAV files ripped off your CDs as your audio. Or then you can just convert the song you're using.

#3

Crashes are WMM's way to express its very own existance. Unfortunately you'll just have to get used to it. It's the only answer you'll get from me :roll:

Yes yes It seems to crash alot now. Never did it awhile back.

But, I do use Divx, with an awareness that it is not compatible. The music Problem I can most likely fix with time, its the halt of clip playback that really gets to me. How do you think I can solve the Divx problem? I downloaded AVi Synth, I suppose this can fix such a problem...Or..?

convert your clips to huffyuv or uncompressed and it should have less problems

Thank you for the help, I will see what I can do. It would be a disaster if I could not make amvs anymore :O

huffyuv and uncompressed make rather large files though so be careful

i use virtualdub mod (which comes in the amvapp) to recompress footage

the audio thing just happens. wmm doesn't like certain audio files.

crashing is just a normal part of wmm's routine. i generally get it to stop crashing for a little while by finishing/saving to my computer (whichever one you want to call it) every time i feel a crash is imminent. it's a pain, and probably eats up a lot of memory. but it works.
