If you aren't going to be doing any gaming or running heavyweight graphics applications, the Intel route would at least give you the opportunity to try working with Studio without ''forking out'' on a separate graphics card (add one later if you found the performance of the Intel on-chip graphics when rendering/exporting videos having complex ...

According to this FAQ (PDF document) MSI laptops that support auto-switching between the iGPU (Intel graphics) and dGPU (Nvidia graphics) use the Nvidia Control Panel app to set which GPU is used (allow the laptop to choose automatically or force an application always to use a particular GPU). I believe that your laptop does have this ...

bowersdroneservices@gmail.com:I guess when they call on my ticket  they'll just say sorry... They'll probably ask you to uninstall and reinstall the software  A workaroud you could use if you're using text-only captions for your chapter buttons (and not using thumbnails):Highlight the button and change it to ''not a button'' Manually ...

It's a program bug - ''box'' and ''underline'' menu button highlight styles worked in Studio 23, became broken in Studio 24 and are still broken in Studio 25. I'm afraid you're stuck with the ''alpha'' style for now...

Bryce1210:How do I switch which graphics is active when using PS25? Sorry - I have no idea... MSI should have provided some kind of utility - does the MSI Center app have anything related to controlling the graphics in it? I did try downloading and reading the user manual - but it wasn't any help at all (mention of dual display - but I couldn't ...

Thanks for sharing the screen recording; I can now appreciate that it's different from the issue that arises when the DirectX components are missing (in that case the video doesn't play at all and the source/timeline previews stay grey or black. So it may be a graphics driver issue as Tony suggested... Which graphics is active when you are ...

FWIW - Studio 25 appears not to require that old DirectX runtime installation; it has copies of the few DirectX files it needs in its program directory (C:\Program Files\Pinnacle\Studio 25\programs). I just tried an install of the 25.0.1.211 download (ESD) on a clean-imaged Win10 Home 21H1 system that did not have that old set of DirectX runtimes ...

The problem does seem to be exactly like what happened with previous Studio versions when the older DirectX runtime libraries are not present (as would be the case on a new Windows 10 installation). Where did you obtain the DirectX June 2010 installer from? If it was from here (and you got a file directx_Jun2010_redist.exe), I have a vague memory ...

rjh213:I don't have Studio taking up the whole monitor.  I know there's a way to do a screen print of just one window, but I don't remember offhand what it is. That explains why your Studio interface looks crowded... Any particular reason why you don't run Studio maximised to full screen? BTW ALT+PrintScreen is the keystroke to take the ...

rjh213:I'm old school.  I have a desktop with a 24'' monitor. It seemed strange to Tony and I that your Studio user interface seemed to be quite ''crowded'' (not much space when you had the dual monitor view showing the pan and zoom etc.). Are you using Windows display scaling above 100%, or has Windows sneakily reduced the display ...
