Is hard disk space tight? Pinnacle Studio wants a fair amount of space for tmp files.

I have pinnacle studio 10.6 and it sucks. I got totally robbed when i bought this software. I bought the moviebox kit that contains the usb input device for capturing. This program is crash prone. I had to try 3 times installing this garbage because it regstration tool kept crashing. Now i'm having trouble with the update patch it keeps freezing. Please do not update for $20 you will be wasting your money. Look into some other software thats what i'm doing now.

Try:

1. Delete Temporary files (from File Menu)
2. Render your project as an AVI
If that works, then load the resultant AVI as a new project, then Create Disk, but set the options to create the Image on Hard Disk. Then if that works, either try Burnining the resultant Image witrh something else (Nero), or try again with Studio.

If Rendering the AVI fails, then try and determine where it is failing - Expand the Timeline fully and try and see if there are any 'small little glitches', or if it always fails on a particular clip or Photo. If it does re-edit those parts.
