Comment 5 for bug 696863

Hi,

My total project is 373 clips from one memory card (16 gig SD card size) and
103 clips from a second memory card (4 gig SD card size). I can get the
total size in terms of actual gigabytes tonight when I get home. I would
guess that it's around 10 to 15 gigabytes totaled. I'm running a Quad Care
Q8400 system with 2 gig memory. Last nights test was only using video clips
from the larger memory card that had 373 video clips.

I created my project using 1.2.2-1 and couldn't open it in 1.3.0 alpha.

Thanks very much for the quick response,

Don

Subject: [Bug 696863] Re: Problem creating 2 hour plus video

Hi Again,

 | The problem I had was that I couldn't import 372 clips all at once. I
think
the same problem is still present from 2.2.1. I waited over 20 minutes and
OpenShot was hung. I then tried importing 100 clips at a time, clips 0 to
100, then 101 to 200, then 201 to 300, then 301 to 372 which didn't work and
hung OpenShot. I then tried importing clips 0 to 200 which worked, then 201
to 300 which worked and then in increments of 10, I imported the remaining
clips 301 to 372 which worked. I then drug each clip to the timeline making
a total video of about 1 hour 57 minutes.

Hum, i have a question. How much do your project (with all the files) ?
What is the total size ? And about your hardware ?

 | One other minor problem, I was not able to successfully open a project in
1.3.0 alpha that I created in 2.2.1. I had to create a new project for
1.3.0 alpha.

Ah ! Normally, you should not have none problem with. Is it created on
the 1.2.2-1 or the 1.1.3-1 ? We have changed something between this two
versions.

 | I did not import clips 0 to 103 from the second memory card this time. I
wanted to see if I could just work with the first memory card's video clips
which would give me almost 2 hours of video. Tonight I will continue
testing and this time I will import all the video clips from both memory
cards and see if that makes a difference and creates any problems when
OpenShot has to work with video clips that have the same ID.

Perfect. :)

 | Thanks again,
You too Thanks.

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.
