I continue to be frustrated with this product. Its user interface is
just about the most nonintuitive thing I've ever used.
I have a video file in NeroVision Express 2. The file, created from a
videotape, was not split properly and is out of sequence. For
simplity's sake, let's say I have three video files, A, C, and B. The
ending of A flows into C, but the correct sequence of footage in the
finished product should be A, B, A1 (part chopped off of A that
belongs toward the end of the seqence), C. What I want to do is:
a) Split the file at the point of a specific scene change, thus
splitting A into A (truncated a bit now) and A1 (the trailing
portion).
b) Take A1 and move it to the end of my movie.
c) Take C and move it after A1 in my movie.
The absence of meaningful dialog boxes or help or instructions in the
manual or downloadable tutorials is just unacceptably confusing.
Split appears to do nothing at all, and is documented with just one or
two sentences in the downloadable tutorial. Cut appears to delete
stuff from a file, but I'd like to then PASTE what I've deleted
somewhere, and I can't.
When I try cutting, when I click on the red scissors icon, I move the
left and right arrows in the editing window to where I want to cut,
click the now-gold scissors, and it tells me the region I want to cut
is too large.
Surely I'm not the first human in the world to attempt to do this
stuff. Can someone who has used this product successfully set me
straight?
