Pinshel has a good idea with number 1. If number 2 doesn't work:

If I might amplify on that. Take the segment that you have applied the blurr effect, copy it and paste it to a new project. Try converting that to an AVI. If that works, you're in and you can bring it back into your project. If it doesn't, try his suggestion and split the copied clip into smaller bits and and see if you can make an AVI of that.

Excuse me Pinshel!

Two thoughts

What length is the video that's had the special effect applied to it? This blur effect does work, but if it's a long clip, perhaps doing it in two or more bites might be the go, but before trying that, try thought 2.
The deletion of auxiliary files may not have worked properly. I'd go to the auxiliary files folder (when Studio is not open) and delete it. I've found that sometimes the built-in Studio"delete auxiliary file" command doesn't delete the sucker that's causing a problem. You can identify the folder location by going to "project preferences" and looking in the lower right corner. Click on the "delete" button there. To be sure, then close Studio and go to the location to make sure the folder is gone. If it not manually delete it. Then empty your recycle bin.

Have you tried saving your movie to an AVI file? How does it play in WMP. If it's ok, start a new project, bring that file into the timeline and make you DVD from there.

on the other hand i cannot find the "always re encode entire movie" setting check box anywhere?

Go to the 'make movie' tab, click on 'disk' and click on settings. It's a check box on the upper left side>

cuartetto ,

Thanks for the quick reply, I am sure this is a codec problem now. what codec should i compress with to make an AVI file?

on the other hand i cannot find the "always re encode entire movie" setting check box anywhere?

First thing to try is to delete your auxiliary files and try again.

Not sure about this, but if that doesn't fix the problem, in the make movie settings, check 'always re-encode entire movie'. It might take awhile to re-encode.

If that doesn't do it, post back and I'm sure others will have more ideas.

Blur effect not in sync or actioned

Hi All,

I'm new to this so please bear with me, I am trying to edit a DVD where 2 people are walking and 1 person should be blurred out using the video effect.

Anyway to start off with with Nero 7 i exported the DVD to a MPG4 video and opened it in pinnacle studio 12 ultimate.

I proceeded to use the "studio plusRTFX" blur option using "key frames" and follwed the people walking down the road a frame at a time moving the blur to the correct place to hide someones face.

This all plays well when saved and played back.

However when i goto MAke movie, whatever option i select to export it to the blur is ethier way out of sync or the blur is just 1 box thst doesn't move at all.

This cannot be a lag problemw ith my PC as i have / quad core / 4GB RAM / ATI Radeon PRO 2600 512 PCIE / WinXP

Any help please?
