Thanks for the input. I have tried breaking it up, and seem to find that any
sections after scene 65 give the problem. I think I will have to re-make the
2nd half of the video :-(
Thanks for the pointer to the Pinnacle discussion, I have bookmarked it.
(I've also ordered version 10.5 in case that fixes it.....I might yet regret
it!).
Thanks,
John
