VideoStudio :: SmartSound Error When Connecting To Internet?
May 11, 2011
When I start X2 I get the error "The download of a required Smartsound file failed..." It checks for updates and downloads previews just fine so I don't know why I get this error when I startup.
I have Videostudio x4 Ultimate installed and everything works fine. When I click the Smartsound button all my tracks are shown and work fine.
The c:ProgramDataSmartsound Software inc points to where the sound files are are stored. I verified also that they are there outside the program.
I bought and installed Videostudio X5 Ultimate upgrade version on the same computer and now, when I click the Smartsound button nothing happens. Nothing appears. It is as if nothing is there. I got no errors while installing...
Went back to version x4 and reconstructed the database but to no avail.
I tried installing both programs on my new portable I bought a couple of days ago and it does the same thing.
I upgraded to X5 today (from X3) after deciding I did not want to stary learning all over again in a new editor like Sony Vegas.... I am just getting started with X5 and the first problem i ran into was accessing my SmartSound files. I can play them in the X5 Auto Music tab but the ability to "Add to Timeline" or "Auto Trim" is grayed out.
Is it possible to import a Smartsound track and use it as the music for a DVD menu? If not, is it possible to convert a Smartsound track to mp3 or WAV to achieve the same end?
I have VS4 and yesterday worked on a project with a music track and a voice-over. I created a track I liked using SmartSound, the automated music track creation app that comes with VS4 (and there's a version for VS2 & VS3 as well). A few seconds after the music track started, I wanted to dip the level so that I could insert a voice-over, but there was no way I could figure out to reduce the music level just during the voice-over. I had to reduce the level of the entire SmartSound track so that you can hear the voice-over above it.
I could have created multiple SmartSound tracks for this, using normal volume before and after the voice-over, and reducing the level during the voice-over. But that would create music that didn't flow as a continuous piece, and I like the continuous track.So... is there any way to change the level in the middle of a SmartSound track? I would normally click on the track in the timeline, split it into segments, and set the levels for each segment. However, the SmartSound track wouldn't let me do that.
I have an older water line project that was connected to the file water.mdb. I am trying to connect the dwg to the mdb and am getting an error. I have enclosed a screen shot of the error. FYI i am using 2011 Civil 3d, and the dwg was originally done in Autocad Map. (2005 I think) .
I have a HEC RAS model which I ran a steady flow simulation on, and then I tried to use the GIS Export button to get a .sdf file. When I tried to connect to the .sdf file in Civil 3D, I got these errors:
Failed to connect.
Failed to open FDO connection.
File is not an SDF file, or is an SDF file with an unsupported version.
An error occurred during SDF database access.
I played around with the settings I chose when I exported in HEC RAS and couldn't get any different results.
i have 1 camcorder in firewire 1394 MiniDV to record in my computer. The drivers is ok, the camcorder function well on other pc with corel x4 or pinnacle, but on the pc with x5 ultimate, when i want to make capture i have message error "not connecting or no drivers..."
Just tried to import file sinto a brand new LR Catalog when I got this message...here's the entire error message: "An unknown error has occurred while reading the video file. Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed. (98)" Connecting to Dynamic Link Server Failed
this was then followed by a list of files of these types:
I am assembling a project with a few video, overlay and audio clips. Everything is timed the way I want, but I decide to add a few seconds to the beginning. I insert the additional clip and all the video clips move over, but all the other clips (overlay and audio) do not move. It takes a long time to adjust everything and get the timing correct again.
Is there anyway to LOCK the audio and overlay clips to their corresponding video, and have them move together when I insert video in the beginning?
In VideoStudio 6, how does one connect the voice track to the video during the editing process?
My specific issue is that I have to go back and edit material sometimes that precedes the voice track I already have laid down, but when the time frame of the material after my new edit I have to go back and drag the voice track to the proper location. I would like to be able to permanently "attach" the voice track to the specific video clip and have it follow that clip as it is moved, time wise, during the editing process.
Is there a means to make this happen?
PS - I realize there is a work around way - just publish each clip and then rebuild the final project but that is NOT what I want to do.
I have recently installed Photoshop CS3 on a newer PC which runs Windows 7 Home Premium, after the programme was locked on a PC running Vista which died on me and which I have just had repaired. However since installing the programme, every time I turn my PC off and then on again next morning, I have lost the internet.
I have been getting around the problem by running the HP network check and the automatic repair that it performs is to "reset the Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller Adapter". However this only works until the PC is turned off again and then I have to do the whole process again. Is there a way to fix this problem permanently? I was hoping there would be an update from Adobe that might sort the problem, but Adobe don't seem to be able to work with that as they say the programme is too old and don't have online support for this.
I have followed everything that is suggested by HP i.e. rebooting the modem and router.
If I reset the PC to before the programme was installed the problem goes away. When I reinstall the problem comes back. Its definitely to do with the Photoshop programme, but I don't understand why.
When I have copied something and go to paste the image in PhotoShop CS3, something causes my system to open a connection to the Internet for several seconds (maybe 15) before I can paste. I have checked my system for all sorts of virus issues, fearing key recording software, but I don't have anything like that. I've been told by our IT person (who checked my system) that there is something Adobe is doing. Is this true? Why does PhotoShop need to make this connection?
regarding Photoshop CS3. Whenever I import a photo into Photoshop it locks up for about 20 seconds then the picture shows up. I opened up the task manager and it shows that during the 20 second lockup period my PC is sending data through the Internet. Once I disconnect from my network and try to import a photo it loads instantly. So my question is why is Photoshop transferring data whenever I import a photo? Is there anyway to disable whatever it is doing so it does not lock up?
Today I tried to export photos to Flickr and I got an error. I also tried to export to Facebook and failed. I tried to check for updates to the plugins and I could not connect to the update server. I checked maps and the program reported that they were offline. I am not having a problem connecting to the Internet with any other program. Spoitfy, Chrome, and Evernote all working fine.
This started today. It was fine last week. I have tried quitting LR4 as well as rebooting my computer. I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I searched the forums and I saw similar problems mentioned, but no solutions.
Just got Visual Studio Pro X4. My first experience with VS. A friend gave me a number of projects she had been working on with an earlier version. When I try to open a project (.VSP file) I get an error.
When I create a project mit chapter and and want burn it in Blue-Ray disc, than comes error 5:0:0. Without chapter I can project burning perfect.Already destroyed many Blue-ray discs.
I I have VideoStudio Pro X5. I installed it and tried to open. But it became fail. So I retried it by using administrator mood. But it also useless. Then I re installed it. But the problem is same,
At sometime, when I tried to open it, It appears welcome window like this,
i have made a project which crashes in different places every time i try to render. its about 40 minutes long. i have tried removing and reloading pro x2 and cleaning the registery.
I have had my second activation of Photoshop CS 5 on a backup computer that has no internet connection. I needed to change the operating system (Windows 7 Home to Windows 7 Professional). I called up Adobe, and told the technician that I was de-activating CS 5, reformatting the hard drive, then I was going to re-activate Photoshop. He gave me a case number so that the next technician could easily understand what I was doing and what I needed.
The first time I installed Photoshop on this backup computer, I contacted Customer Service. The technician had me do several things to get to an activation screen. I gave him both the serial number and an installation code. He then used them to generate a unique activation code, which I typed in to activate Photoshop. I had Photoshop on that computer, working, for a year.
I called on August 30, after the re-formatting and installing the new operating system, I called Customer Service to get re-activating Photoshop.
The first technician said I could not reactivate Photoshop. The second technician said it could be done, but not at his level and he would escalate the case, and someone would call me.After no calls, I tried again on 09/05. I was transferred to the manager. He said it could not be done, but he would escalate the case to the "expert team," and that someone from that team would call me "tomorrow" (09/06).
Along the way, one technician said I did not need to reactivate Photoshop because when I called about deactivating Photoshop, that technician assigned a special number that would obviate the need to reactivate. How did my computer, off-line, and my software, on a proprietary disk, know that number?
If I am offline for extended periods in location that don't have internet.what happens when I want to work on the photos that I've been busy shooting during that time? Will ACR and PS suddenly stop working becasue they are cloud based and need to check in with big brother to check my subs?
I am no closer to activating CS6.I do not have an internet connection on the machine I am installing it on. I have the disk. But, no way to activate it.
Spent an hour waiting for the adobe installer to download on this machine and it never gave a code - couldn't even find one.How do I activate CS6 - or did I waste the money and need to send the disk back and quit this stuff?
I have photoshop CS3 on an old computer. The computer’s keys have frozen and I cannot access any form of internet. I have tried to disable it so I can reactivate it on my current computer but internet access is required to fully deactivate. Can I write to Adobe with my serial number or some other way to deactivate as this computer is so near death and PS3 is the only thing of value left on the computer.
i have a mac computer and i am working on a cover for an undergound news magazine. i understand that there is some sort of trick to adding new fonts to the program (alledidly a code?)
I've been trying to do this for ages but i just cannot do it! I designed something in Photoshop and opened it in ImageReady to add links. I then clicked 'Save Optimized As...' and saved it under 'HTML and images'. I then found each of the images of my design in an image folder and the actual HTML of it outside the folder. When I open the HTML, the design opens up in internet explorer with the links working. But now I don't know how to actually place my design on my website. I have tried to use Macromedia Dreamweaver but when I copy the HTML code to my website, the design appears with small red crosses, not showing it.
how you add links to the buttons and such. I found slicing, and I assume this is how you add a link to one of the buttons in the template you made? Btw what is the standard size for a template? 800 x 600? Thanks guys, Im just trying to learn how to make some new things
