Hey there, i hope i have the rigt forum now 🙂 I made a photopresentation in Photostage, but the video's i added were playing to slow while the audio is good. the pictures are starting while the video is still running, The sync is away now. Do you know what i am doing wrong?

Hi, sorry but is there any existing settings options I could enable/check, so when sharing my clip(IE ; shared from One Drive), it would play without people being obliged to press a play button to watch it, but straight from the sent link ? Thanks for any heads up on that matter (and, in advance, excuse my potential "dumbness" :))

Using PhotoStage I created a slideshow which is about 45 minutes long. I can get it to play fine as an MP4 but don't know how to get it onto a DVD. I used the export -> DVD Movie Disc . It creates several files (I guess an ISO but can't figure out for the life of me how to burn it to a DVD. This process seems very simple but i'm obviously missing some key steps. Any guidance would be appreciated Still playing around with this to try and get it to burn to a DVD. I found step by step instructions from a discussion about Burning a DVD with VP - I followed them word for word but nothing ends up on the DVD.. Does this matter? I have tried using DVD+R or DVD-R Burning a DVD with VP Open your generated mp4 in VP and edit it. Click the Export Video tab on the toolbar and select DVD Movie Disc. Enter a Name and select the Burner. as Borate indicates above. The default might show Image File. but click the down arrow and select your DVD writer. Choose Format and AR Click Create. This open another setup window. I can get to here and then if boots me out... and the message that I get is Error "Failed to save your slideshow. Verification of burn failed" Check the Verify Burn box. If you have added bookmarks to your video during editing you can choose to use these as chapters in the finished article by checking the appropriate box. If you want a menu on your DVD then click the Add Menu button Set up a menu (if required) by choosing the template ; titles, background images etc. Click Save Menu. This returns to the main setup screen....(The Burn option may be greyed out if there is not a disc in the drive.) Open the DVD writer and insert a DVD. (I prefer to use an RW disc as you can check things are working OK beforehand) This now activates the Burn tab Click Burn VP asks if it is OK to overwrite existing data on the RW disc. Click Overwrite Disc is checked, erased and your video is then burned and the drive opened. Close drive for Verifying the burn Burn copy discs if required. The completed disc should play OK in your DVD player. (Always does here... ) If you export your project first as (let's say an mp4 or avi etc) you can use the more dedicated NCH Express Burn to create your DVD instead of using the burning options built into VP (which in general, are perfectly adequate) .

Is anyone using NCH's PhotoStage? I have bought it and been using it to make videos from my photos, videos & music. Am very happy with it. It PhotoStage similar to VideoPad? Differences? Is it better? Is VideoStage ONLY for videos or can you put in photos & videos (like in PhotoStage)? Thanks so much for your help.

I have created a slideshow with audio in photostage that is 18 minutes long. Trying to export the file for YouTube publishing but the export is taking HOURS. I have a licenced version. No matter what resolution the export, the time to export is huge. Anyone had and resolved this issue before?

video stops at end of each slide - help/any ideas gratefully received - I have trawled and trawled setting and cannot find anything

I just purchased photostage. I made a slideshow of pictures and a couple of songs. (No file has been moved.) When I saved it using "Save Slideshow...", I chose .mp4. The file created could not be opened with QuickTime. (I have the last version.) Then photostage crashed. Now, when I click on the file to open it, I am asked if it crashed, I click yes, then it says that some of the files could not be found. They will be shown in red. I click ok. But, there are no files listed in red. After all of the files are loaded, I get the error: Abnormal Signal Crash ... you received a "SIGNAL10" exception code. Regardless of what I click, I get a spinning ball (Mac) and the program freezes. I have repeated this often. Does anyone have any ideas to help me? I have sent a couple email to NCH, but they have not responded. It seems to me that if I buy a program, it should work. Why should I need to pay to get help for a program, when I understand the basics, in order to get it to work? It seems just plain wrong.

I have a AMD Athlon ™ XP 1600 + 1.39 GHz with Windows XP SP3, Nvidia FX 5500 graphics card and 2 GB of RAM. I tried the trial version of NCH PhotoStage Slideshow 2:44 but when I apply the ZOOM effects on a still photo the Preview and the thumbnail on the timeline become BLACKS! The other effects works regularly but this is the most important in a animated slideshow! Has anyone had the same problem and maybe he could solve it? Thanks a lot!

Any ideas why my Photostage (2013) keeps crashing every few minutes? Frustrating because I know it's fine software if I could get it to stay up. Tech support suggests clearing cache, which I've done - no joy. I also tried the same project with VideoPad, and that kept crashing too. I have had no problems with other photo or video editing software, just the NCH suite. I'm on Windows 7 btw.

Hello, i already have Photostage but i think about buying a second license for my other computer. Now i am not sure if videopad could be a better choice. 1st: My new camera is able to make short films. 2nd: What is the difference between cutting a film or making a slide show? I don't really see it. What are the main differences between both programs? Any information would be great! PuDerBaer

Hello, as far as i see there seems to exist a German version of photostage (at least the website for buying is in German). I have downloaded the test-program but cannot figure out how to change the language of programs' menus etc. help would be great. English is fine, but sometimes German is just easier for me. thanks and regards Pu der Baer
