Hi John, I uninstalled the "Cloud" Connect before posting here. (I HATE uninvited desktop popups. 😁). Also, I think but not sure it came with 2020, and I returned to 2019. Nice to know it has other uses, but I use dedicated cams and USB for transfers. 😏
It seems that every new version is worse than other. Things get changed, and not for the good. Last time title editing got way more difficult that it used to be. This time the image stabilization is gone. After the update, every customization that I had, have to be made again. Every setting is reseted. Is it that hard to convert old config to new one? I have been used this software since 2011. Every single time when there are a new version, I have to re-configure everything again. Every time something changes to more complicated than it use to be. And every time I am wondering if I should stop using MEP.
John, I'm still getting pop-ups of various special offers. Also, I wanted to look at PC Check & Tuning which came with V2020. All I did was look, but now it's doing things I don't need it to. (Already have apps which do the same checks.) I don't want to delete it, but might have to. 😵
Trying to load Intros/Outros Basic, Template 'Noisy (intro) causes my version of MEP (Premium) to crash giving the following log information. It is the only template to do this.

NTDLL.DLL /Unknown thread is a sign of a Windows system file mismatch/corruption or another running program causing the issue.
If the crash is repeatable after restarting the computer then open a Command prompt (Administrator) and run a system check - sfc /scannow - if the scan finds and repairs any issues, reboot the computer and repeat the scan again.
Thanks, John. If I'm getting this correct it comes up as a Dos style (command?) box? If so, the results close before I can see them.
I've run the command twice but the problem persists. Not a big deal, I can live without it but it's odd the outro works. I even tried opening a new project in case it was the project that had corrupted.
It sounds like you try to run the SFC command directly from the "Run" field. That is not how to do it.
Click on START (Windows button), type CMD.EXE, do not press ENTER, but Right-click on the cmd.exe listed above under Program(s) listed as you have typed. Click on "Run as Administrator". You will now open a command window in Administrator mode. on the prompt in the window, type the command provided by @johnebaker, SFC /SCANNOW <ENTER>
Now the result will remain in the window once completed.
Perhaps an even easier method to access the sfc facility: Right-click on the Windows Start button, from dropdown menu choose "Windows PowerShell (Admin)". Simply type at the flashing cursor sfc /scannow.
. . . . When I test it, the video monitor is just black . . . .
I would advise you to start a new topic and come back with your computer specification, version/variant of Movie Edit Pro and MediaInfo analysis of the clip you are trying to attach the image to.
@CubeAce, don't thank me, thank @johnebaker who gave the advice. I merely helped you executing it.
Glad to hear it worked out so well, though.
PS! The reason it did not work when you typed the command (sfc /scannow) into the run window is because it then did not run in admi istrator mode. The safest way to ensure running in administrator mode is what I describe earlier. If you only type cmd.exe an <ENTER> you will see that the command window does not "Administrator:" in Its title (followed by the path).
For running programs like MEP in administrator mode, you could exe ute the *.exe file in the command window, or right-click the icon and choose "Run as Administrator"
PSS! @emmrecs your suggested method only works in Windows 10, and Ray has a Windows7 OS.
The mistake I take it was me thinking that because I only have one login account as administrator I presumed it would work from there. You are right, I'm running Win7 until the end of the year and build a new PC. Time for an i9 CoffeLake processor I think.
Magix Image Stabiliser gone. ProDAD image stabiliser gone (in spite of what someone stated here). And, to add insult to injury, the new Vegas image stabiliser crashes the program with an access violation when the "Analyze Motion Data" button is clicked (this seems to be only with AVCHD video files).
The program also randomly refuses to close down.
How do I revert to the previous version? I have a file "Movie_Edit_Pro_2018_Premium_DLV_KA3_en-GB_180703_10-04_17_0_3_184.exe" in the Installationsmanager folder, can I just run that, or do I need to uninstall the new version first?

In case it helps, the crash log when using Vegas image stabiliser is:

Looking at your machine specs unless you have upgraded the machine since you put your machine specs in your profile are even further behind than me on machine specs and I'm very low in the order of power users here. I'm not sure your machine can cope. Virtual memory doesn't really cut it and a two core machine is going to struggle. Are you really still running Win XP?
I'm running an early i5 on win 7 and I'm struggling not to trip my machine up.

He he. I don't even remember writing that profile. Shows how long I've been using Magix software, I've had at least 4 other computers since then! I've removed that system spec and left it blank, otherwise it will just get out of date again when I upgrade....
Having found (to my embarrassment) that ProDAD image stabiliser actually is still there (I didn't use the Magix one anyway), I'll persevere with this release for a while longer as at least I should be able to continue projects started under the last release without backtracking. Every new release comes with it's own set of new bugs, a kind of "value-added" gift! But thanks @Kami_1 for the info.
