Working with multiple capture files

[Simon Hird]

I have scenes in different .avi files that I want to use in the same project. When I try to drag and drop them into the Movie Window, it says In Pinnacle Studio LE 8.4.17 it says "Can't add xx.xx.fps scene into yy.yy.fps project. As a last resort, I looked at the help file (!) and it says:

Working with multiple capture files

For some projects you may want to incorporate scenes from multiple source tapes, or scenes from the same tape captured into separate files. Simply load in each of the files in turn:

1. Drag scenes from the first captured file into the Movie Window.

2. Using the drop-down list or the Folder button in the Video Scenes section of the Album, open the second captured file. Studio displays scenes from only the current file in the Album.

3. Drag scenes from the second captured file into the Movie Window. Continue in this manner until you have gone through all the files.

This is what I had been doing. Any ideas?

Have you tried loading the second file by itself to see if it loads ok that
way? Can you render one of the files(say xx.xx) to a file with the same
FPS(yy.yy) as the other (yy.yy)then combine them in the project. Hopefully
somone will have a better answer.

T probably has a good idea here. The basic error relates to frame rate.
Try loading and rendering files one at a time to make them all the same
rate, then follow the instructions for adding multiple files to your
'real' project.
