Hey, i just got pinnacle 11 plus on my computer, and im having a little trouble with it. I got the H.264 activation key, but it still doesnt show the video demo on the screen in the editing tab, or at least it doesnt move from the the first 2/3 frames. And what movie make settings are the best for youtube? I run a samsung SC-MX20 btw.

thanks,

Chris

Unless I am wrong, to import and edit the Samsung h.264 you'd need Studio 12.1 with the latest patch.  My impression is that Studio 11 could not handle that format at all, athough you'd best check the Support and Patches sections.  If that's not workable for you, the other option is to use the Samsung bundled software to create a DVD and import the VOB titles to Studio 11 to edit, or else (if that is possible) use the bundled software to export directly to a more common MPEG2 or AVI format.

Other threads discusss YouTube formats.

thanks! ill look around in the sections, and ill let you know how it goes.

thanks again!

There are plenty of discussions here re youtube settings, key an eye out for the High Quality and HD settings as well.
