7 - Troubleshooting
If you experience difficulty getting started with Ulead Video Studio, use the online help
or check the manual for information.
When rendering a title text against a pure background color clip, the text may appear
blurry. This is due to certain types of compression. For better results, try using the Video 1,
RLE, or no compression options.
The Video Greeting Card does not support QuickTime files.
If you want to share and play your video on other machines, make sure you use a
common codec, such as Cinepak, Indeo or MPEG. If you use a hardware codec, such
as MJPEG, you may be unable to view the video unless the other machine has the
same card on board.
You may experience some problems when playing Quick Time files. Some examples
maybe, the playback may not be smooth or the Stop button in the Navigator bar can
not switch back to the Start button after playing. In such cases, please change to safe
mode in the QuickTime Video Settings. (You can do this by clicking the Control Panel:
QuickTime icon.)
Some camcorders (specially some Panasonic models) have a small problem that
prevents them from recording movies from your computer. If this is a problem, Video
Studio can be made to pause for a short time before transmitting the video to the
camcorder. NTSC
