6.0 Bugs

We have been trying to keep up with reported bugs as mentioned in the liquid forums. Sometimes it is hard to tell whether the poster actually has a bug or if it may be machine/user related. We are trying to keep it clean and modifying this page as we learn more about the reported bug. So this is not offical - just a way of trying to keep track.

Certain Default settings may cause you problems and should be corrected. Many of these issues can be traced back to Timecode and Frame rate settings in LE.

The settings relate to:
     Live Player Settings Timecode System:
     Sequence Default Settings:
     Import Media Settings:
Playback from the "middle" of a sequence with RT effects applied uses up all available CPU causing slowdowns and frame drops.
  Workarounds:
 Starting playback from outside anything with sequences plays through correctly.
Audio -some known issues with mixing 44.1Khz and 48Khz sample rates on the same timeline
  Fuse your audio file and then reimport it
when I try to slide a clip down the timeline it causes the timeline to jump. I never know where it will end up. -  Web Link
  Oh yea I've seen it. Especially when trying to move a keyframe in the audio editor (rubber band style) and when 3 point editing. Who knows where the scrub line will end up....
  Possible Workarounds:
Single frame avi's that import fine into 5.62 can not be imported into 6.0 - error
  Workaround - open in 5.62, snapshot, and import created .bmp into 6
Jittery stills ARE a major problem with LE6
  If you are using hi-rez stills and letting LE resize them, they will jitter whenever there is a transistion between them unless you go through all kinds of hoops. They may also shift position on mpeg rendering. I have FINALLY found some settings that are acceptable but they are far from the defaults. There is also the problem of stills crashing the rendering unless they themselves are rendered.
  Possible Workarounds:
First thing to try is to put a black clip under your stills (make sure it's "Use Image Alpha" is turned on. If there is still jitter in the stills, select all the stills, go to properties and select "Fit Both" and NTSC (or PAL if you are not on NTSC) non-square pixels. Again make sure "Use Image Alpha" is turned on for all these stills.
 

 

   
  The single biggest problem (IMHO) is a problem that seems related to the alpha channel (dunno fer shure). It's impact is to make the rendering/DVD creation fail. But by turning on alpha or setting a linear speed of 100%, it works - seems to force a render that fixes those thing. Shows up in stills and some imported video.
