UNHIDE:

Go to: Start / Control Panel / Folder Options / View Tab / Advanced Settings / Hidden files and folders & Select "show hidden files, folders and drives"

DELETE

Go to: Start / Computer / Local Disk (C:) / ProgramData (Unhidden Folder) / Studio (version number: Eg;15) / Data  & Delete the Render Folder.

Does this need to be done with Studio 15 Versions? Or only Version 10 - 14 (I think)? what about Avid Studio?

Thank you.

I Posted That Route for W7, because it's different from my Stickied Post for XP.

Possibly same Route for Vista, which I've never had..

I haven't got S14/15.

If you have W7, follow the Route in this Thread.

If you have XP, follow the Route in my Stickied Post.

Then you'll see if S15 dumps the Final File (What you have in the Timeline in Make Movie) Render files in a Hidden Render Folder. 

I haven't got Avid Studio. In any event & since it's a different Program, the above wouldn't apply.

Hi

When we unhide and delete the "Render" files, should you also delete the "Media" files also contained in the Data File ??

I have been doing this with my old Vista Ultimate, but I am just changing to Windows 7. 

Cheers.

OK to do that in W7, Tony

Hi

Thank You.

Also, wishing you a very merry xmas and an happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

In Vista I see render folders in 2 locations:

C:\ProgramData\Studio 14\Data\Render 

and 

C:\Users\BARYE\Documents\Pinnacle Studio\Render

(Perhaps because I installed Studio twice, to different locations -- not sure)

Correct - There are 2 Render Folder Locations. One is hidden. It's the Hidden  Render Folder that causes the problems. The contents of both Folders aren't the same. Although both contain Auxilliary files.

cool -- good to know !!

Colour,

I tried your steps but could not find FOLDER OPTIONS in my Control Panel. Did I miss something?

Click on Appearance and Personalizations - Folder options are in there.

You can also get to them in Windows Explorer under Organize

I have w7 home premium and It had teh export error several times. deleted aux files and then tried the above proc - still the export problem. then I deleted the MEDIA folder and now the title editor does not see my pictures in the picture folder. any way to get these back? I restores the folder from the recycle bin, but still no pictures. I bet I have to re-install st15, right?

I first tried a repair option , but still I do see the pictures files. looks like a full blown install. Why does nt Pinnacle put in a patch for this know EXPORT problem. THis happened right at a deadline (of course). 

I suppose the lesson here is that if you go around deleting random parts of any program's installation, it is possible that you will break the program and have to re-install it from scratch. Contributors to this forum do offer fixes that have worked for them but you need to stick to what they recommend.

Export problems come in all shapes and sizes and for very many different reasons, so a patch to solve them all would be quite some patch. Moreover, I think it's safe to say that any development work on S15 finished a long time ago.

...and you are kind of off topic here now - if someone does have an answer, they would spot your question more easily if you started a new thread with a suitable title.

The Media Folder isn't a Source Media storage location. It only holds Copies of Media used in a given Project. The Source Media remains unchanged in it's original Windows OS storage Location. Eg; Pictures / My Pictures by Default or a Custom Location chosen by you. Reinstalling S15 Program doesn't affect Data eg; your Source Pictures.

The Title Editor looks at your Source Picture / My Pictures Folder. Not the  Media Folder.

One can only assume that you've Renamed, Moved or Deleted the Source Pictures . Or have them in a Custom  Location that Studio can't find?

If you Delete the Media Folder & it's contents, the Folder & contents would be in the Recycle bin. Studio automatically regenerates an Empty one.
