    There's definitely an issue with Win7.  My OL CS3 worked flawlessly under Vista Home Premium.  Under Win 7 there's no video on the monitor (didn't actually try recording).  OL CS4 seems to function just fine.

    Dear Sir thanks for your reply, I do have a single thumb nail on the time line together with the audio, but no video on the monitor. You do not mention who you are or if you are connected with Adobe, have you heard of any rectification workarounds etc, please keep in touch. Regards William

    Breezley,

     

    OnLocation CS3 used Direct Draw to create the video window.  In Vista, you may have noticed that OnLocation CS3 would disable 'Aero' themed desktops as they did not support Direct Draw.  Windows 7 does not have this functionality, so you must disable the Aero theme manually to see the video in OnLocation CS3.

     

    To do this, right click on open desktop and choose Personalize.

    This will display available Themes.

    Scroll down to the 'Basic and High Contrast Themes'.

    Choose any one of the basic or high contrast themes.

    Restart OnLocation CS3.

     

    This should bring your video back into view.

    Thank you Ryan.  While OL CS4 has improvements over CS3, there's functionality in CS3 that was removed in CS4, such as the intervalometer function for timelapse photography.  Your explanation clears things up and I will now be able to use OL CS3 with Win7.  Thank you again.
