Thanks Gordon. Now I know what a Bank Vole is.  I'd never heard of them.

Did you leave any of the food outside to entice them out?

I had a 25 year gap in movie making.  From making 8mm film movies from 1967 to 1980 and then picking up again in 2006 with digital SD then HD.  I missed out on the analogue tape days.  I haven't, as yet, moved up to 4K and probably never will as my current 1080 camera should last me.

Here's a 2008 SD video.  My attempt at a fantasy movie.   I posted it years ago on the old Serif forum.  "King of the Jungle" https://vimeo.com/97633127

It really needs subtitles as I could only understand very little of what was being said, and I grew up in London.

Personally I consider having to control your camera using your phone ridiculous and in cramped situations difficult.   I'm amazed Panasonic don't provide a proper means of remote control.

Also I gather it has to be a recent phone model and possibly only an iPhone model.  My old Android wouldn't work with a camera.

Yes I've a box of closeup lenses and filters from days passed.  You never know when they might be useful.

Thanks Albert.   I'm reasonably certain from my research for my narration that Monarchs don't appear in Europe.  Only in North America, Australia and NZ.

No chance of the Monarch butterflies eating our vegetable gardens.  They only eat the Swan Plant which is poisonous to us.

Thanks Freddy.  It's a codec problem.

I downloaded your file and it opens in my MVPX6 with the green/pink image.  That says to me that MVP thinks it can open it but its codecs cannot decode it.  Maybe I don't have the necessary codec unlocked or MVP never had the required codec.  After all MVP is now an old programme and you have a much newer camera.

IMPORTANT, SERIF SHUT DOWN THEIR UNLOCK SERVER A FEW YEARS AGO SO IF YOU HAVEN'T BACKED UP YOUR UNLOCK CODES YOU URGENTLY NEED TO DO SO.  Go to Tools/Options/Advanced and Manage Unlock Codes.  Then the Export option.  Save the file somewhere safe as you will need it if you reinstall MVP such as on a new PC.

Back to your problem.  You have three options:

1 - Download a codec pack such as KLite to see if that helps. https://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm.  TP codec packs are not usually recommended but you have not much choice.

2 - Ditch MVP and move onto a newer consumer editor.  A new learning curve and you may need a more higher spec pc.

3 - Convert your files into a format MVP can handle.  I've converted your file with Handbrake and you can download it here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-UnkCe … sp=sharing.  It works okay in my MVPX6 but may not in yours as it depends on what codecs you have unlocked.  Try it in yours.

Freddy - Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing please.  This should help us understand your problem better.

Better still can you upload a sample camera file to a cloud service like Google Drive so we can download and try.

From memory MVP never used any GPU, just CPU, so you shouldn't have problems.  Unlike many video editors where GPUs cause issues.  But then without GPU MVP wasn't able to delve into complicated FX or render fast.

Chad and Alfred - I'll PM you both with a link to Google Drive from where you can download "MVPX5.zip".  The file will be there for 10 days.  It's 1,458,633 KB.

Chad - download to your pc and unzip the file.  The resulting folder has two subfolders.  "Disc Contents" and "MVPX62018 Patch".  Ignore my folder typo as it actually contains the last MVPX5 (not X6) patch - MVPX51033_MoviePlusX5_7.0.2.018-Patch-Setup.exe. 

Open the Disc Contents folder and scroll down to "setup.exe".  Double clicking on that should result in MVPX6 being installed.  If not then hopefully Alfred can help out with advice on what you need to do.

After installing apply the patch and import your codec unlock codes by going in MVPX5 to where you exported them but this time click the Import button.

Thanks Gordon.  Looks a lot different to Spain.
