I have a problem with 6.0a VMS Plat

I just download (a very slow process with just a dialup) VMS Plat 6.0a and DVDAS 3.0a on Sat. Sunday i installed it over my registered 6.0 and 3.0. I haven't gone back to 6.0 yet, nor have i emailed support.

When i Make Movie to render my timelines to an avi file, i get a "see though" which shows a portion of the screen with the last progam viewed. this is on 2 different computers. I never saw anything like this with 6.0. When i click to a different program and then come back to VMS the whole screen is correct with just VMS. No other programs have been added since installing the update.

Has anyone else noticed this? is there a fix?

Do you have a ATI video card? I have been using VMS for a few months and have had the same "problem." Since I walk away while it is rendering I have ignored this quirk and have not seen any ill effects but it would be nice if there was a solution.

I had a similar problem. When rendering, the area occupied by the "Movie Studio" icon on my desktop showed through!
I just moved the desktop icon onto the taskbar.
BTW... NVidia graphics card.

my video is an S3 ProSavage DDR with 32mb.

BUT that is not the problem. I NEVER had this problem before 6.0a update, so something has changed with this software.

AND since i posted this yesterday, i have had only 2 times it has done it. maybe the software kinda needs broken-in... :)

thanks for the replies, i'll just live with it, ron

I'm considering updating my VMS Plat from 6.0 to 6.0a.

However, I'm not having any problems currently, and I'm not looking for any.

Would those of you who HAVE HAD PROBLEMS with VMS6.0a and DID NOT have problems with VMS6.0 post comments/ here?

Thanks,

I get the same problem. Nvidia Graphics card too.
I cannot render to mpg as the Concept Encoder keeps crashing at about 20% complete. This is in both Movie Studio and Architect 3.0. What I have to do is render as a dv.avi and then use architect 2.0 (I bought platinum as an upgrade) to create the dvd. I'm using PAL by the way.
