Thank you. I’ll try sequences.
Oddly, I’ve used additional sequences to build portions of a story, but never as a “reconstruction” aid.

Also, did you read one of my previous posts? With PPro loaded, a power outage shut everything down. I rebooted and opened PPro to see that everything was intact.

Internal software error when producing DVD from PPro CS3
On the Adobe site I found two workarounds, tested one on a short video and it worked.
1. Use Encore 2 which can coexist with CS3
2. This is the one I tested:
Render the project in PPro CS3.
Export to Adobe Media Encoder.
Set format to MPEG2-DVD and select quality.
Click on Multiplexer tab below.
Select DVD and OK.
Import exported MPG into Encore and burn disc from it.

Workaround #2 was attributed to Adobe. Nothing mentioned about money back or update.

Strange happening. I leave my computer on 24/7. With PPro CS3 loaded but monitor off, an overnight power outage a few nights ago shut down everything. Rebooted in AM, opened PPro to find evrything and all transitions intact. Amazing, since this is the movie with all the offline trouble.
I shut down PPro today but haven’t opened it yet to see if the good or the bad angel has visited.
I’ll check tomorrow.

I refresh the “offline” clips by right clicking to FIND IN PROJECT, then use INTERPRET (clip or file, whichever) and it pops into view.
The inactive transitions must be redone individually.

I hope Adobe is monitoring this forum.

Not to give any easy outs for Adobe, my project is a bit of an organizational mess.
Two drives are close to being maxed out, and the 82 to 100 items in the project are in many different folders. This is a very complicated process and I hope this hasn’t caused the off-line trouble.
I too will be very happy to finish the project to see if the problem repeats in subsequent jobs.
I have never had this problem with earlier versions.
My CS3 is an upgrade.

Is there any chance that having CS2 remaining in the system could be contributing to this difficulty?

[Greg Mooney]

Thanks.
I uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 to have no improvement. I have not tried again to produce a DVD (aborted self due to errors which were “offline” clips).

Have a work around by setting all back online (using Interpret)and redoing transitions, then making movie. I plan to open the final finished movie in a new project then burn this to the DVD.
I see no reason for that not to work. The test movie looks as it should.

Also check Adobe PremPro forum for others with same problem; no solution yet, but other ideas. https://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc44dfb/

Yes, that’s correct. Thank you.

You might also look at Snagit by Camtasia. Very flexible and easy to use.

Sony DV TRV 510 which does everything else in the old Serious Magic Rack and this new Adobe version too. Motion record works as advertised too. Just time lapse setting isn’t clear to me.
Don’t know if I mentioned this: the tape must be out of the camera to prevent camera’s auto shutown (I doubt this to be a problem though since all other features work).
Thanks
