OK. So no one should try something different?

Famous last words. “There is absolutely no problem in upgrading to Win 10!” I sympathize. This situation has been discussed in several threads over the last few days. It looks like Win 10 is losing the debate. I do hope you get it sorted out so that everything works again.

My new mantra! You learn SOMETHING every day. I must confess that I did not know that Windows would automatically add the index number. Now, I know.

I wrote about Diskeeper in another thread. You might want to look into it since your machine is booting slowly. I have always been impressed by how much Diskeeper helps with speed. Another possibility is anti-virus software. I now use only Microsoft Security Essentials, and have had no problems with malware. It’s a lot less demanding than any other anti-malware software that I have used.

Two points. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Microsoft has it right, and it goes back a long way. Make every effort to enable older machines to avoid obsolescence. Apple’s answer has always been very different. We’re going in a new direction so buy all new hardware and software or you will be left without support and no way to go forward. Microsoft learned when IBM used what is now the Apple strategy with the introduction of OS2. Microsoft countered with Windows 2.1, and left OS2 in IBM’s hands. Microsoft won that gamble because the new OS gave huge benefits without requiring all new hardware and software. IBM became a has been and eventually left the PC business. Some of the newer Apple fans simply have not yet been bitten by the “buy all new stuff” strategy yet. Others will simply continue to do what Apple dictates. In spite of all its faults, I will stick with Microsoft for the foreseeable future. I have a lot more freedom and flexibility.

John, I think all that is true although I had not read about these problems with Win 10. I read your comment discouraging an update from Win 7 to Win 10, and I absolutely agree with you. I would not touch Win 10 with a 10 foot pole at this point. I have better things to do than spending time trying to install a major upgrade to Windows, and I’m not inclined to spend the money replacing hardware which may be rendered useless by it.

One thing I would try is a velocity envelope to adjust the frame rate where necessary. It may generate some missing frames to smooth things a bit. It may not work, but I would try it.

It’s probably not the best way, but, in Windows Explorer, you can select many files, and give them all the same name by renaming the first one to “where taken” followed by a (1). The rest of the files will be renamed as “where taken(2)”, “where taken(3)”, and so on. Assuming your camera originally labelled them in order, that order will be retained while you also add the “where” information.

OK, try selecting the entire contents of the timeline, and render that. If the render loop option is checked, let it stay checked. You can select the entire timeline by positioning the cursor at the start of the timeline, and press the “i” key. Now move the cursor to the end of the last event on the timeline, and press “o” (Oh) key.

Yes, a selection does automatically invoke the render loop option. I was surprised to notice that just recently, but then I always use this option for renders. Also, when there is no selection, the render loop option is greyed out. I also noticed that quite recently.
