Hi all. While my question seems specific to PE3, I think it's really more a codec question, so I'll post it here.
My daughter has an inexpensive digital camera Nikon L22 that saves movies in AVI format. I believe they are motion jpegs. Anyway, I wanted to do some editing for her, so I opened them in Windows Movie Maker, put them on the timeline and saved them as dv-avi files so they would work better with PE3.
My question is, if they are dv-avi files now, why is there a red line over them on the timeline?
Also, when I brought one clip at a time from her camera into Windows Movie Maker, they showed up as a few separate clips that I had to highlight all together and bring onto the timeline of Windows Movie Maker in order to have all the clips content played. It wasn't like she pressed the play / pause button on her camera, it was a continuous video she shot.
thanks,
joe
