Digital Workshop

This is a tool that I use a lot -- often 70+ times a day. I use it to calculate timings that synch activities with text.

It works a treat -- well, at least it did until about lunch time today.

I'm pretty sure that this is not an Opus issue.

1. Working fine, numbers ticking over in the Time Marker, and on completion, displaying the various marker points.

2. Next moment, dead as a dodo

3. Rebooted. Same issue.

4. Reset registry. Same issue.

5. Rebooted again. Same issue.

6. Ran my suite of 3 virus checkers, spyware/malware checkers. All clear.

7. Decided to do a clean reinstall. Luckily I checked before uninstalling because the CD with the backup of my Opus installation files was unreadable. But that's another story

Has anyone experienced this?

More importantly, has anyone as resolution?

Ray,
I'm sure you will have checked, but what is the 'Use Time Marker in Preview' set to in the
TOOLS-VIEW-GENERAL---it should be ticked as default I think.
I've seen really strange problems with Debug window showing/not showing, regardless of the tools setting, but a reinstall and registry reset cleared it.

Perhaps there is some other process running in the background?? although I can't see how anything would stop the Time Marker??

This morning I discovered the cause of the problem I was having with the Time Marker.

The problem turned out to be related to one page only, so it was relatively easy to isolate the troublesome objects, which turned out to be two AVI video clips.

With these removed the Time Marker works as expected.

I use very few video clips, so I've not encountered this issue before. Some experimentation show the the Time Marker works OK with FLC, GIF, and other AVI files, so I'm guessing there could be something odd about these two AVI files.
