FWIW I don't recall the ToonIT and 3D Stroke plugins ever being in the standard content of non-legacy Pinnacle Studio (16 or 17); they were in the bonus effects for (legacy) Pinnacle Studio Untimate 14 and 15, and also in Avid Studio. In Avid Studio, ToonIT and 3D Stroke were there as RTFX (not RTFXv2) plugins, so it could be that Red Giant never ...

FWIW, MPEG-2 exporting in PS23 is significantly slower than in previous versions (both for creation of an MPEG-2 file and for the first phase of DVD creation (legacy authoring). Previously, a standard-definition MPEG-2 export (file or DVD) from PAL DV AVI source would run at ~4x real time, now it's only ~2x, but with similar CPU usage! No issues ...

Because the black frames occur in the preview as well as the export (and are not affected by hardware acceleration setting), to me it sounds like a regular DirectX/graphics acceleration issue. The fact it works in PS22 might indicate that Pinnacle have ''moved the goalposts'' in how PS23 interacts with the graphic driver - is the driver you are ...

Jarles:Ok,  Here is the VOB This is not the file that Saby asked you to post the MediaInfo result for...You have provided information for the file VIDEO_TS.VOB - which is a dummy (placeholder) file that does not contain any part of your movie (just a link to the top-level menu).The file we need to see the information for is ...

I believe the hotfix file has included both the ''transparency'' and ''plugins'' fixes right from the start; I'm guessing that Corel created two KB articles to help keep things simple (separate short articles for each problem). FWIW I needed to use the hotfix to get Prodad plugins working correctly (so far I haven't needed to use Transparency, so ...

Rick Hagan:...it just seems like the transition should just use the end of the one trimmed clip and the beginning of the next trimmed clip.  I don't have any ''junk'' frames as you described...I'll try to explain a little better...You shoot a piece of video and import it into Studio; you notice that there is some not very good or wobbly ...

Glad you've managed to get rid of the black in the transitions by trimming the clips... The behaviour you describe is actually ''by design'' and is down to a new method of handling transitions that was added in PS22. There are now two modes (you can set which is used by default in Studio's control panel, and you can change it while editing a ...

Rick Hagan:What's with the bars on the left in the transition info?  They are different for the same transition.  One works, the other does not.The bars are a graphical representation of what is happening on the timeline during the transition. But the view isn't showing you the whole story...In the ''working'' screen shot #1, the view ...

Thanks for the reply - interesting finding that your version of Windows 10 appears not to have the Microsoft AC-3 codecs. To me the MediaInfo dump doesn't show anything untoward about the file from your HC-V777 (looks pretty standard for a PAL ''50p'' recording...). Something you could try before downgrading to a ''home user'' version of Windows ...

All the different varieties of the ''Barn Doors'' transitions (in ''Standard Transitions'', ''Alpha Magic'' and ''HFX Volume 1 | Doors and Borders'' work normally here with no bad frame seen. I do recall having read a report of black frames occurring in transitions, but I believed that particular issue was only seen by some PAL users (25 ...
