General Software ProblemsQuality not quite what you expected? Need help with video capture, editing, encoding or playback. Post here for software not covered elsewhere.
I am new to video editing. I am trying to compile a movie using videos and images into a presentation.
When I was using my laptop Windows Movie Maker worked just fine....However my friend built me a new computer and he knows nothing of video editing.
HERE IS MY PROBLEM:
When I am making the video....after I apply te transition the playback flickers. It only does this during the transition though, and only during the preview. When I publish the movie....that flicker is gone. As you all may know....It is very difficult to make a movie if the preview isn't working....
The problem doesn't seem to be confined to just the Movie Maker program...The transitions also flicker when I use Premiere and Vegas....
What you're actually seeing when you view the preview monitor is a fairly low quality example of the final rendered video. It could be that your graphics card, processor or memory is struggling to keep up with what's going on. It's not unusual for preview monitors to flicker or have unsteady playback. I used to have an Intel Celeron 1.8 which did this all the time when using Premiere Pro. With some editing software you can render the video and effects as you go, but I don't think Movie Maker has this option.
If it's a memory issue, you could possibly assign more memory to the graphics card to try and eliminate this, if there's an option in the computer bios which allows this.
