I have a problem with Studio 8, I am capturing video from my DV
camcorder using a firewire cable......editing it using transitions,
fades etc....then I output it using the firewire cable.

However I keep getting dropped frames in the output.......I can't work
it out. The Hard drive had been defraged, and the read rate is 30mb's a
second...well above the required 4MB/sec.

Only possibility is that I have had a few dropped frames in the video I
sampled.......but I edited them out, anyway they 'look' different to
the dropped framed I'm getting in the output..

Try running EndItAll before doing any video work. Available from he

Studio 8 is very demanding on memory, and even when you have a well
spec'd PC all sorts of background task/programs can grab memory giving
problems. EndItAll closes down everything but the essentials, freeing up
your memory.


After looking at other posts on this newsgroup, I have decided to
ditch Studio 8 and use Vegas 4 instead.

Seems to be much more stable and far less glitchy.
