Finale 2008 - Video Window

Hello,

I'm having a problem with finale 2008's video window. Whenever I try to open it (Window -> Movie Window) it won't show up. Finale's main window gets deselected, so it seems as if it's focusing on the movie window, but it doesn't appear anywhere. Has anyone else had this problem? Could it just be that I'm running Vista?

If anyone could offer any help that'd be great :).

I think Vista's your issue, I'm afraid. I've heard some others complaining that certain features don't work properly with Windows' disastrous rip-off operating system, and I'm not sure if the latest patch fixes it or not.

My suggestion would be to go to the Finale site's support forum and see what other users are doing to get around the problem.

Good luck! :)

Oh, that's kind of irritating. Thanks for the info though :), I'll check the support forums now.

I know it's irritating, but unfortunately Vista seems to have brought with it a lot of little bugs and inconsistencies with software; Finale included. :( Let us know in this thread if they've got a fix for it - it'll help others in the future who're having the same problem.

Thanks!

Do you have Quicktime? The video window needs quicktime to work.

I have Quicktime, but not Quicktime pro. so I don't think that that's the problem, thanks though :).

I managed to write music to the video just having it open in Windows Media Player while writing down all the important timings, it was a bit tedious, but it worked well :).
