Wings Forum

I have had this problem for a long time but finally gotten irritated enough to seek help!

When I insert a video from my hard drive (ie one that is not already in the Media Pool), WP4 crashes and needs a restart. A check in the folder reveals that the .wp4 file is successfully created at this first stage, but the video itself is not created in the timeline. After restart, a second right click "insert video" always works, but it costs time and, if I haven`t saved all previous alterations, it costs unsaved work too. Often these are big uncompressed avi files, but it also happens with compressed mov videos too. Is there a solution perhaps? Many thanks

Good Morning Ian,

i have never seen that behaviour before. To analyse your problem it would be great if you could send me:

• a project file
• the log file after the crash was happening / after the insert was succesful
• it would be great if you are able to upload a video to a FTP server or something similar
• which version of Wings are you using?

Please mail all information to P.Zorn@AVStumpfl.com

Thank you!
best Regards
