Frame Could Not Be Calculated

@sunago Hi,thanks but wrong image, I want to see the Title Intro_Atomic,

@sunago can you enlighten us on this, was this project that you updated the media first created in 2022 version?

@Former user Sorry. I misread that. No. I cannot find Intro_Atomic in the current menu. That must have been a holdover from the old files. I originally created these files in 2019 with an older version of Magix. I now use Movie Studio Suite 2022.

Ah!

Found it in my copy of MEP 2022.

@CubeAce Yeah that's Atomar not Atomic tho, Atomar is still in 2024. I doubt Atomic ever existed, the 2017 video I watched went through all options & it wasn't there..

This is 2024 in Subtitles & Opening/Closing credits

@CubeAce I have discovered something with this template (& a couple more), on my screen this one flickers, & when the text is dragged on or using the down arrow to import, when a fade is set on the end if another clip or text is butted up that fade reverts to a straight cut because of the partial frame, I've tried this with 29.97 & 30p 😒

Hi Gid.

Templates always have an associated amount of time allocated to them. Each one has a different amount of time allocated to it and I assume made for a specific duration, meaning an amount of set frames are embedded into the template. Stretching that allotted time I find often doesn't work well. Much better to make your own template from scratch using the basic text tool with whatever additional effects you wish to add to it or use a title editor.

Especially those that use more than one track. Maybe the text effect is using a track with a mask for instance.

@CubeAce Yep, I don't use these presets, only the Basic fonts & create my own movement or an external title editor. Prob why I'm only just discovering any irregularities just now. 👍

All i can add to his post is that exporting Atomar with Blurred Horizontal on the later half of the clip was fine, but halfway through export as it got to the blurred bit there was a drop in speed by more than half, I notice this performance drop with a lot of blurs,

Hi

The Atomic/Atomar - name was not translated from German to English in MMS 2023 and 2024 - is located in

C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\Videocontent\Movie Studio edition Content\Titles\Intro_Outro

and/or if you upgraded from an earlier version

C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\Videocontent\Movie Edit Pro edition\Titles\Intro_Outro

and in the program the intro and outro are found in

The Intro/Outro and has been in every version since (IIRC) MEP 2016 Plus/Premium.

Hi John.

So I did find the correct Intro-Outro. Thanks. It did not present any problems on my test but did not limit my test to only using the HD630.

Hi Ray

. . . . did not limit my test to only using the HD630 . . . .

Neither did mine - I turned off the RTX so as to match James's PC specs.

Did you see the switch to CPU for when the Blur effect was added? - make the title about 20 - 30 sec long and apply the Blur linear horizontal effect and make it about 5 secs long.

Hi John.

I didn't run Task Manager at the same time, sorry.

I do notice sometimes differences in general depending on which monitor I have the programs main window open on. It doesn't always seem to matter how I set the programs Import,Processing,Export options if the program is on the monitor that is disabled. Then some activity is always present. In this instance I did have the program running on the Intel powered monitor.

Just an FYI - The same glitch happened in Video #9. Same situation. Old file with those two clashing Effects (2015_Intro_Atomic and Blurry: Linear horizontal) "Frame Could Not Be Calculated" at the point where those two effects converge. Once I changed the Blurry: Linear horizontal effect to a simple fade, the export completed successfully. Those two must be like dinosaurs and Man - never meant to exist together. Hahaha. Thanks again for all your insights!
