i downloaded a youtube video and then converted it from a flv. file to a wmv. When I import the video into pinnacle and then drag it down into the time line, only the first section of the video plays, the rest of it shows as blue boxes. the preview screen has a big exclamation mark on it. what am i doing wrong?

How did you download the video from YouTube?

Did the FLV file play completely before you converted it?

You might try capture the YouTube video using Movavi ... convert it to AVI or MPEG-2. Then use that file directly in Studio. I just did one like that this morning.

i have some kind of download helper on my browser (firefox). i downloaded it while it was playing. I am going to try what you suggested!

How long is the video, did you allow Studio to detect scenes on this Video?

the video is under 4 min. when i did the scene detection the first scene showed the video but all the other scenes were blue and blank.

Reimport it and this time cancel scene detection and see what happens.
