I am working on a project using video clips recently captured onto a new system I built and clips from my previous system. I transferred two of the hard drives to my new system and all seemed to work fine until I tried to print to tape. By the way, I was V.V. 3.0 in my old system and it worked without problems. I am getting the following:
On the clips transferred form the old from the hard drive:
- All clips play fine when viewed in video preview or in media player. All files are avi. NTSC DV , lower filed. and I am using the same settings on both systems.
- When I try to preview them on my external monitor, I get dropped frames, blue & gray screen and choppy images.
- Same as above when I try to print to tape, dropped frames.
When I capture on my new system, preview in video preview or external monitor, or print to tape, all is fine, works like a charm. I tried using a different DV cable between my computer and my Sony Walkman or plug it to a different port, but it has nothing to do with cables or connections and my Walkman is also fine. I double-checked by switching everything around and always boils down to: Bringing footage from my hard drives moved from the old to the new computer. At this point I can only assume the following:
- The hard drives from the old system got corrupted when I installed them on the new system
- The drives are not compatible with my new systems (2) Western Digital 7200 100GB
I have tried rendering the clips to a different folder and re-opening them, with the same results. Something else that happens, when I switch back to viewing the clips in video preview, the screen on my external monitor keeps flashing from blue screen and gray screen, eventhough it is not being used.
Any advise on moving or re-saving the files… or something else so I can save my project.
Thanks
