Help!

Character generator isn't working. When I hit Character Generator, a box pops up that says loading, but it never actually loads. The program just sits there. So I have to hit cntrl+alt+delete and shut down the program. When I restart the program and play my movie, the show starts bogging down, getting choppy.

I have tried rebooting several times.

My program is one hour long, and I am fifteen minutes from the end.

Speaking of Character Generator, I notice that if I use bold text the program will crash. Why is that.

Thank you for your time.

Brian

Brian,

if the program bogs down and you need to restart, remember that you can kill the Video Toaster quickly through the keystrokes: Ctrl-V-T

Another thing that helps us reload quickly, after closing the toaster software, kill WindowsMediaPlayer. Sometimes it is running in the background and is not needed.

Provide us a little more information - are you using VT2, VT3 or VT4? Also, you might want to mention your hardware setup.
