    You might try an uninstalled/reinstall of the program.  And, under OPTIONS | DISK tab, Clear Unused Cache Files, just in case there is corruption.

I have done uninstall/reinstall and cleared caches. Looks as if this MAY have cracked the problem - "watch this space!"

Hi Ancient Printer

".....Q2. Can anyone provide a fast way to split the single clip into its 110 slides and a quick way to apply the same transition to each change? ...."

If all the slides/images are equally spaced in your video of the Power Point presentation here's a even easier way to extract them...

Place the video on Track 1 and in Options set up Dual Preview Displays.

• Determine the time interval between the center of image one to the centre of image 2...Let's say it is 10 seconds
• Create a blank image of 10 seconds duration. (Same duration that you found above)
• Move the red cursor line to the centre of image 1. The image will appear in the Sequence Display.
• Right click the display and Take a Snapshot of the Sequence
• Overlay the blank image at the cursor
• Click the >II button to step the cursor to the end of the blank  on the overlay track. This will center it on image 2
• Take snapshot
• Slide the blank along Track 2 so it grabs the cursor line
• Click the >II button to step the cursor to the end of the blank   This will center it on image 3
• Continue in this way until you have copied all the slides. (110?)
• Clear the timeline and open the Image clip bin and drag all the snapshots to track 1 for editing further.

You are using the blank image as a "spacer" above the main track to position the cursor on the next image. It assumes that all the images in the video are equally spaced and that the original transitions are also equal.

Many thanks for this. My original video unfortunately doesn't have fixed intervals between slides so I shall go the slow way and get there in the end.
