Guest Yachtsman1 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Just started a new "lamp" show. Took some stills & video, wanted to extract two sections from the same video clip, used the convert function to crop & extracted the first clip, then added it to the show, re-introduced the master clip into the converter, cropped & extracted a second section, went back to the main screen to add the second clip & the first clip was showing the "video not found" warning for the first clip. I assume the conversion process had overwritten the first converted clip. It didn't do that previously. I'm using 8.05, made many similar actions with previous versions with no problems other than trying to sort which clip was which from the same master.I asked for some sort of auto re-numbering when carrying out this action last year, or the year before, as far as I know, this wasn't actioned. Stu suggested a work around at the time to differentiate between converted clips, but I've forgotton it was so long ago.Yachtsman1. Quote
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Just found a workaround, after converting the first section, rename the master by right clicking, select "rename" I just added the suffix "a". If this is a bug, this is a workaround, if it isn't maybe the "how to" should be added to the "help" file?Yachtsman1. Quote
davegee Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 May I offer an alternative solution while you await Igor's comments?When you convert the movie for the second occasion change the name of the converted file by adding the suffix to the DESTINATION FILE. Click on the BROWSE Button to choose destination folder and name.DGP.S. http://docs.picturestoexe.com/en/video/addvid?convert_video Quote
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 DGI assume you missed the word "name" from your post. In the past I have always removed the converted file before adding it a second time, your screen shot appears to have two clips in the converter?Yachtsman1. Quote
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 Just looked at your screen shot again & IMO the word "destination" is a bit confusing, shouldn't it read "converted file"?Yachtsman1. Quote
