I have completed a movie. It is 20 minutes long, with a lot of pictures, and
songs. It is a graduation video. However, after spending a lot of time on
it, I am now unable to burn it to a CD, copy it to my computer or send it to
an e-mail. I have even tried to copy it to a jump drive, but anytime I try
anything it locks up immediately. As soon as I click "Save to CD" the
program locks up. Does anyone have any suggestions?
