There is not just Intel out there with ''hyperthreading''. I have 12 cores and 24 threads.

Thanks for setting this up! We need a place where those that create templates can post them and share them.  

First suggestion, fill out your user profile. For computer specs, see mine below as a template. Second, what is the source of these video files? What created them? Where did they come from?

I am curious about this. Is there a way for you to upload a short sample to the cloud I can look at? These are the specs from their website for video: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 (MOV)

Don't worry, I forget a lot!! 

Setup>Control Panel>Storage Locations>Delete Rendered files.

.....which leads to my final question, did you try it in the audio track?

In the MCE, did you put it in the audio track or video track?

I would think that PS would consider the MOV file as possibly a video format. Where did you place the Zoom file in the MCE?  Audio formats supported by Pinnacle according to their website: Audio: MP3, MPA, M4A, WAV, AMR, AC32, AAC, Vorbis, WMA

Curious as to if you exported the audio only file in PS and then used that file, would it work in the MCE?
