help please. i recently installed then uninstalled Boris Red 3GL as effects plug-in in video studio 8. the thumbnail for boris red, however, remained in my video filters library. if i click on it an error message appears and video studio shuts down. its irritating :( how do i remove this thumbnail from my video filters library?

thnx.

Hmmm ... interesting.

I am fairly sure that Video Studio makes a note of its shortcuts in a DAT file, so that makes life a little bit more difficult. You could try this workround though.

1. From the Tools menu select Library Manager and click the New button

2. Name a new folder of to your own choosing click the OK button followed by the Close button (Incidentally I always place shortcuts to my own video clips in custom folders and then delete the folder when I am finished)

3. Navigate back to the Video Folder. Highlight those clips you want to keep and press CTRL-C

4. Navigate to your new folder and press CTRL-V

5. Now go back to the video folder and select all thumbnails. Press the Delete key.

6. Answer YES to delete the Thumbnails and NO to the original video clips (IMPORTANT DO NOT DELETE THE ORIGINAL VIDEO CLIPS).

7. If that works, and if you want to, you can copy the shortcuts back to the video folder from your custom folder using the same method.

I can, of course, only test this so far, as I do not (currently) encounter any errors of the sort you describe.


Can you post the specific error code you get just before Studio crashes?

Meantime hope that helps.

it didn't work. i think it's because i am actually dealing with the video filters folder which i think is not customizable the same way as the video clips folder. i created a custom folder but it turned out i can only create it under video clips (or title, image or audio). i tried loading the vft files from the plug-in folder but it didn't work for i think it was expecting video clips. i did it that way coz, in the first place, i couldn't copy the thumbnails from the video filters folder to the folder i created..

i checked for dat files and there was one i found which i am quite sure belonged to boris red. i deleted it but it didn't solve the problem. i also already checked the plug-in folders and i am sure that the boris red vft file is not there anymore.

i am attaching the error message i'm getting and the screen shot of my BIG problem ..

thnx.

Looks like a memory handling problem to me.

There is a solution, all be it a little bit drastic.

Re-install Video Studio and Boris.


Otherwise refer to ULead Support (who will probably suggest a re-install)

Sorry

i guess i have no other choice but to re-install..
thnx

this problem solved without re-install.
just go to C (ur system disk):\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Ulead Systems\Ulead VideoStudio\8.0 and delete VFilter.rsf. VS8 would generate this file again on program start up this time without the unwanted filters thumbnails.

Good question and an interesting answer that might help many others.

As such, I'm moving this thread to the ULEAD forum (arguably where it should have been in the first place) so that other Ulead users will find it more naturally.

God!

You did get an answer,



Certainly the first piece of advice would have worked. The second ... well who knows.

I agree that your solution is, by some distance, more eloquent.

But you did get an answer!
