I have AVI 1280x720 24fps and MP4 848x480 120fps in the same timeline
plus added MP3 music when I press Make Movie there is an error message then it
shuts down VMS HD P 11
is this not possible
if it is, what format / size do you render video in since there are two

That's a bizarre mix of video sources! Neither is a traditional camcorder format.

What models of camcorders are they coming from?

You may be able to get the AVI to work -- depending on its codec -- but a 120 fps 848x480 MP4? That's really a tough one for this little consumer program to digest!

Given your usename is MrWinter, I bet you're making some wicked videos with the GoPro 2. Nice camera.

Have you tried using the RENDER instead of the Make Movie?

If you have, and without success, what format were you trying to render to?

If you're using GoPro's Hero model, you should read this first.

(there is similar information for editing on Macs at their site)

Note the first line:
"So you’ve shot a bunch of footage on your GoPro or DSLR camera…now what? Since the H.264 file format used in camera is not designed for editing, you should convert your files into the GoPro/CineForm file format. This format was specifically designed for editing and is compatible with most popular non-linear editing applications (iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Premiere, AVID, Vegas, etc.)."
