I’m new on this forum and new in using Ulead Videostudio 8 and I have run into some (read big) problems.
First my, PC is 2,4MHz-521Mb Fujitsu-Siemens and works great in Pinnacle Studio9 and with other graphic software. But I have been looking for a video-software with more abilities then Pinnacle Studo9 could offer. And when I found Ulead Videostudio8 with all its effect and overlays I thought this was the program I had been looking for several years!?

So back my problems. First I noticed that I could not drag any mp3 file into the audio-timeline, the program just close down without any warnings. I’m able to play the mp3 file if not dragging it down to the line, but when using wave-files it worked just great so it wasn’t any big problem!
But when I tried to make a little 20 minutes video with totally 12-16 stills pleased 4 different places in the timeline with some text, overlay and transitions effects, the whole project started to become problematic. In the beginning when rendering during “preview-play”, the program crashed, but when I changed the working folder to another harddrive I solved that problem!? But now both when trying to preview (after rendering), the result is bad, many parts of the video has “flickering” with square color-frames flying across the screen.
I deleted all the files in the tempfolder and tried several times, but with the same result.
Then I just tried to make a video-file in the “share” option. I tried to make “avi” file, mpeg and mpeg2, but with the same result. The DVD-mpeg2 option in addition to give me the same flickering problem, it also gave me “poor” quality picture.

So I’m sitting here with more questions than answers and hope someone on the board can help me out.
Is this a codec problem, and if so how can I identify it?
Do I have too many stills and effects included, if so what it limitation in UVS8?
Do I have some “settings” problems?
Or could it be something else which I don’t even know the question for??

Kindly regard.
