I’ve still finishing off the final edits for the new Minx video, M17 - Wet All Over…

I've been using Ulead Media Studio 6.5 for editing videos for a few years, and was basically happy with it, but in the last few weeks it has become unstable, and keeps crashing (Win2K). So I upgraded to version 7 - looks much the same (I hate it when the interface changes for no good reason) and seemed to work fine with my previous projects, set up for all the scenes on M17 ... however, it wasn't until I started recording back to DV tape that I realised they've screwed the audio tracks up !

Audio tracks are now AVERAGED !!! ARGH - what that means is that if you want to add in some background music, and keep the original soundtrack, then when the music track starts, the original sound level sudden drops ! An the music is not at it's original level either... God only knows why they did that - and without any mention of it, or a simple tick box to make thinks work how they used to !

I've had to go through all the scenes boosting levels, and re-doing the cross-fades (they must now be log fades to avoid a dip in levels) - bastards - end result - M17 is still in final preparation - sorry to all those asking me about it.

Anyhow, just had to have a quick rant, and pass this on to anyone using Ulead.
