Messages

Tab Messages can usually be found in the area of the Preview window. It provides information about problems within your project. Currently this information refers to videos only, but it is planned to extend it to other areas.

There are four types of messages that can be distinguished by the following symbols:

Information  ...these messages require no immediate action.

Warnings  ...should definitely be taken into account as otherwise problems might arise.

Error messages  ...refer to an acute problem that must be resolved.

Log entry  ...indicates that there is an entry in a log file that must be taken into account.

Every message has at least two buttons which can be used for the following:

 Repair  ...usually eliminates the problem. The exact way of dealing with the problem depends on the problem itself. If, for example, no intermediate video data or preview data are available for a video they will be created. Please note that the error message will only disappear once the data have been generated. With any other messages a file dialog is opened, e.g. if a file is missing, or the log file may be opened for log entries.

Help  ...opens the appropriate help topic in line with the problem.
