You're the best ! Unchecking "Close media when not the active application" did the trick.

Glad you found a solution! Good to know the ram preview stays open.

One more step. The "Solution" check box is just above.

We kinda work for cheap around here.

;?)

"Tag as solution" is that right ?
Thanks a lot Musicvid !

Well I'm glad we ended up communicating. I was too harsh with you earlier.

Well I was being a bore, asking for help like a cry-baby. It's only fair :-)

Investigational learning takes more time; that's why schools don't use it past 9th grade.

With the technical arts, it's the only guided learning method that works, I think. Poe wrote of himself as being more of a technician than artist. That perspective has stuck with me, sometimes to my embarrassment.

You're right, art is technical, Music in civilised countries is about keys that follow a mathematical pattern, we don't just cry or franticly use percussions. To paint you better know anatomy, painters from the renaissance studied it for instance. I used to have a magical understanding of arts when I was a teenager, and even after :/ Thinking that it was all about finding / discovering that special melody or lyrics that no one could have though of :)
But in the end it all comes to put each thing where it belongs, have the correct voice, the correct words, the correct pictures, find something adapted, flee affectation and follow the principle of "Sprezzatura" as defined by  Baldassare Castiglione's Book of the Courtier (studied carelessness). There's nothing really magical, at least nothing impossible. That's actually a good thing that art is technical, otherwise we wouldn't know how to produce any, we would have to wait until God's grace falls on us to be able to start producing any :)

It helps to have a friendly, well-fed Muse around for those inspired moments.

Yarbels :)...guided learning kills me, and I'm the greatest unknown artist of time lol. I had to look up investigative learning, there is...ahh got it, and I'm right. Well at least for me. That's all I do is investigative learning - I take something and reverse engineer it. For example, I've played a musical instrument since I was 10 (so 32 years ago)...in fact I taught myself the recorder and how to basic sight read music when I was 10 years old...this is a true story. Over the years I've tried to learn the 123 way or guided learning in regards to music theory, literacy and form...to no avail. (I had a vietnamese friend who was studying a master of teaching here in Oz, and I learnt all about the 123 way of learning - even though I run when anyone tries to make me learn this way). I can now write classical sonata form at the highest level, albeit in a modern guise. Think guitars, vox, percussion, drums, synths, strings, brass and orchestral soundscapes of the strings or the brass. The piece I'm working on is a parody of the 70s Tv show The Incredible Hulk or in my piece The Incredible Bulk...I'm also a skilled animator and vfxs artist too these days...thank you Vegas. The sonata is some one hundred tracks...and is very complex, but also accessible...thank you Beatles.

What I've done is, I started as an artist - but I knew I could conquer the technical stuff, and eliminate the technician or if you like the person who interprets your ideas. This allows for a more pure artistic idea. Think The Romantics...thank you Beethoven. I thought, rather stupidly by going to uni and doing first a Bachelor of Creative Technology (Sound and Audio Production) - I would learn how to mix and master...nope, but through the investigative learning approach and by reverse engineering The Beatle production techniques - I can now mix and master at the highest level, and have progressed much further than that, as I have also mastered the analog emulation aesthetic or how to emulate the audio signal chain of classic albums or which The Beatle's are but one of many in the movement loosely known as The Rock-Avant-Garde (think Pete Townshend of The Who and auto-destruct rock :)). Of course, I was even sillier and thought by getting a coursework masters in Music Technology would make me more employable, then honours in Sonic Art and finally an M.Phil in Fine Farts...to no avail, hence the greatest unknown artist of all time...but so was Van Gogh. I don't really fancy cutting my ear off though :) and killing myself. I've still got more crazy gesamtkunstwerk projects to complete. I haven't even mentioned my at least 4 octave voice - thank you Freddie Mercury or my guitar ability...too many guitarists to thank. But again I've shot myself in the foot - because technical degrees aren't guided learnt art degrees. And you're right, those in uni land where I've been trying to get work...to do a little teaching on the side, because being the greatest unknown artist of all time doesn't pay the bills, think the only way to learn art is the 123 way. It doesn't matter whether it's technical art or indeed visual art...it's the 123 way or the highway.

Even when you astound those in uni land, with feats of technical and artistic virtuosity - back to Beethoven again, and the piece I am about to finish (The Incredible Bulk :), some 8 minutes of sonata and 3d animation, and because I don't accept that the 123 way of learning is the only way to learn, and possibly because I fight their crap decisions...there is no room in uni land for me. And I've been hyperfocusing on this project now for almost 5 months, and by hyperfocusing...I mean 12 hours a day, sometimes 7 days a week to do the job of an orchestra, a band, an engineer, a producer, a couple of 3d artists and probably a couple of vfxs too! Remember I don't have a job because no one will employ you if you have 4 degrees lol, and I'm not suited for ''do you want sauce on your hotdog sir'' because of suspected very high functioning ASD or aspergers, and diagnosed ADHD. I take enough stimulant medication to fell an elephant lol. But, because of stimulant medication, I can now access all my higher cognitive abilities, and expanded my prefrontal cortex immeasurably - not that any of this will get me a job or get me discovered lol. I have a difficult personality - but I can be very nice. I just don't have stupid empathy - I don't care or can't pretend to care if you want sauce on your hotdog :). And before you think stimulant medication will make anyone an ubermensch - I believe you have to have some access to a higher cognitive ability in the first place. There are studies, which suggest those who take stimulant medication don't actually get any smarter. Indeed, even though I couldn't stay focused for very long periods - I have the concentration span of an ant...I could still hyperfocus without my meds...just not at the level I can now, and just not on anything I didn't like.

Sorry, probably off-topic. Very tired...5 months of hyperfocus will do that to you when the finish is in sight. I've managed to render out in Blender whilst tapping out this comment (I taught myself how to animate in 9 months lol) another two scenes. Out of an 8 minute animation...I've got less than two minutes to go. I'm about to introduce the She-Bulk in the mind desert scene lol. The Incredible Bulk is actually gesamtkunstwerk symphonic work, and the second movement which I've started will be The She-Bulk who is purple, and even when she is angry all the time...there is something strangely erotic about purple breasts LOL. And all of this is a true story!
