Posts: 126 		On my Desktop Muvizu works fine.
On my Hi End Laptop, When I open Tools / Timeline for example , the box appears off screen. Other boxes also appear off screen.

The other problem is that if I load an .avi video onto a backdrop, it appears as about three lines at the bottom of the backdrop.
None of these problems happen with the same files and the same version of Muvizu on my Desktop.
My Laptop is very powerful, and easily runs Muvizu.

Are you using the most recent version? (I would advise against it - use the February version 1.7)
Do you have the latest graphics drivers for your laptop?
When you say off screen, do you mean you can't see them at all or they are in a position like just off the edge?

Posts: 126 		I installed the older version, and did not update, but there is no difference except I've lost most of my update packs. The two other problems are no different.

Posts: 2220 		I can't remember the name (probably pinning) but do you have the option next to the X on the timeline enabled? (It looks like a little drawing pin or something)

Posts: 126 		Yes! I decreased the screen size, and clicked the pin icon and it worked! I now have both Versions of Muvizu on the Laptop, and both are working, BUT, the imported AVI files still not filling the backdrop screen, on either version! So One solved (Thank you) and one to go!

Posts: 2220 		The avi issues is either your graphics drivers or the codec you used to render the video. It's more likely to be the codec. What software did you use to make the avi, and is there an option to render it uncompressed?

I don't really have any more suggestions so I guess it's best if you ask support what's going on: http://www.muvizu.com/Support

I use a program called Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate to solve my .avi problems. ( http://www.xilisoft.com/video-converter.html ) These lovely folks allow you to convert videos up to 3 minutes long with the trial version (more than enough for my use).
  • Load your video in.
  • Choose "HD AVI" to convert to.
  • Expand your Profile to Advanced Profile Settings
  • Under "Video Stream>Video" click the drop down menu and choose "Microsoft MPEG-4"
  • Convert
Voila! You're good to go.

Does this work for backdrops? It sounds like you're converting to MP4.

Posts: 399 		Sorry, forgot to say to choose "HD AVI". The resulting file will be an .avi but the container will be set to "Microsoft MPEG-4".

Posts: 126 		There is nothing wrong with the AVI files. They ALL work properly on my Desk Top computer in Muvizu. The problem must be in the configuration or settings on my Windows 10 Laptop. Everything is working fine on my Desk Top.

It's probably best to send in a support ticket then: http://www.muvizu.com/Support (I can't think of anything except updating your GPU drivers)

Yes, all my .avi files work as well, buuuuuuuut, they don't work in Muvizu. My solution is to change the container that is used so that they do work. Jamie will give you a solution that involves using Video Dub that doesn't seem to work anymore. Video Dub (VDUB) is a difficult, non-friendly user program.
