Have you rendered the timeline yet?

To begin with, can you tell us what camera and what non-linear editing system you will be using?

You don’t have to turn off your computer, just restart is all you need to do. Depending on how big your project is, how many assets, timelines, etc, etc … will determine how often you should restart. I never go more than 3 hours without restarting. If I don’t, my computer will crash. Save often is my motto.
By the way, Tim Kolb is very knowledgable. Listen to anything he might suggest. His training DVDs are the best.s

One fix for this … reboot.
I have a large project, 40 hours of HD footage and a 3 hour timeline, so I reboot every 2 to 3 hours.

Keeping your settings the same throughout the process is the surest way of achieving best results.
I shoot 23.976fps, 1080p … and I edit with those same settings. I am very pleased with my results. Could this be a part of your problem?

4,000 pixels is max, so go a little less than that. I generally go 3,800 pixels on the longest side of photo.
Can someone else give advice so as to explain this better and simpler? I’ve done my best.

When you crop a photo, use the formulas I gave you. You will most likely be cropping most of the time.
Yes, you play the DVD made in Encore on any DVD player that is hooked up to a TV.

DO NOT import photos of 4,000 or more pixels on the longest side of the photo. Always keep it less than that. I generally go with about 3,800 pixels on the longest side of my photos.
1080 X 1920 apect ratio is for High Definition TV screen
1080 X 1.777 = 1920
1920 X .5625 = 1080
Those mathematical formulas will give you a perfect 1080 X 1920 screen image after importing photos, and you will not have to Scale Frame to Size. When zooming on the photos, I frequently use “Ease In” and “Ease Out”. Sometimes Linear works in special cases. It is entirey up to your taste, and what the situation calls for.
Does this clear it up for you? Good luck . . .

If you are producing 1920 X 1080 High Def, then the horizontal should match the vertical side of the photo 1.777
Or, the vertical side should match the horizontal .5625
These ratios are for landscape photos that you want to fill then entire screen.
An easy way to fit photo to screen is to right click on timeline scene, then left click on “Scale to Frame Size”
Encore DVD authoring is extremely simple and effective. You should have no problem with it.

When that happens, reboot and try rendering a smaller slice of the timeline. Don’t render large sections if that continues to happen.
