Comment 10 for bug 696863

Hi Andy,

I did a little more testing last night with my 2 hour plus video. I was
able to import 103 video files all at once successfully after I had
previously imported 373 video files. The thumbnails were correct this time
and the video files with the same file IDs showed correct pictures. I want
to do a little more testing in the area of importing large numbers of video
files. I don't want you to go on a wild goose chase in the event I am wrong
that there is a problem with importing large numbers of video files. Also,
I drug every video clip to the timeline to create a total video of around 2
hours 37 minutes and then I created a simple title at the beginning and end
of the video. Then I exported the video to DVD with no problems. I had no
problems viewing or manipulating the video so, so far so good.

One simple note, it would be nice if I could drag more than one video clip
to the timeline.

Thanks again for all your great work; I'll keep you informed,

Don

Might it also be worthwhile copying the files to your HD first? Just
wondering what effect the read speed of a memory card might have
(especially with large AVCHD files).

Title:
  Problem creating 2 hour plus video

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  New

Bug description:
  Congratulation for a great video editor!!! Here's my objective.
  Using OpenShot 2.2.1 on Ubunti 10.10. Camera is Panasonic ZS7 shooting
  AVCHD lite. 1) Problem importing 200 clips at one time. Successful
  doing 100 at a time then after 200 clips were imported, I needed to
  back of to 25 at a time. It seemed to take too much time trying
  another 100 clips after 200 clips were imported. I was able to
  successfully import 372 (0000 to 0371) clips from one memory card then
  another 103 (0000 to 102) clips from a second. 2) Problem with the
  small icons with each imported video clip. I had two memory cards,
  the clips were imported from both of them and the second memory card
  had clips 0000 through 103 which was the same id as the other memory
  card's clips. The actual video was correct but the small icons from
  the second set of clips displayed on the first set of clips. 3)
  Problem with the 300rd clip. At about 1 hour 26 minutes when I added
  clip 300 to the timeline, the timeline pointer would disapear when I
  tried to view any of the video. It would disapear about 2 seconds at
  the beginning of the video. Also, OpenShot started crashing. Also,
  earlier, the timeline pointer and it's line would become out of sync
  with each other. The line seemed to be on video but it's pointer was
  to the right of the line and when the line hit the center point of the
  timeline, they would become aligned. I had to eliminate clips back
  to about 1 hour 10 minutes then OpenShot seemed to behave enough that
  I could continue with the video in two parts, about an hour each. I
  had previously added a title at the beginning of the video and I was
  not able to go back and work with it. When I selected the title I was
  not able to bring up "Font Properties" but I was able to bring up both
  "Pick a Colors". I deleted the title and created a new one. No
  problems with exporting to DVD and creating a DVD from it. The video
  is about one hour 12 minutes long. I will continue with the next 1
  hour video. I don't know how many people try to make a 2 hour plus
  movie but I think this was a good test. Please let me know if more
  information is needed. I am at work and quickly wrote the above. I
  hope it isn't too confusing and please E-mail me with any questions.
  Thanks for a great video editor and I hope this makes it even more
  amazing than it already is.
