Please help!! Virb Edt wont run .

Hi I hope someone can help me I'm having a nightmare. I cant get the Windows Virb Edit programme to run . I have windows 10 64 bit with a new NVidia GeForce GT610 graphics card all updated to latest drivers and Windows checked and updated. So I'm above the Virb Edit minimum requirements but after I've downloaded Virb Edit and go to launch the program I get the start rectangular black box that just flashes and skips about the screen I cant do anything with it it will just flash and skip forever, I have to restart windows to close it . Any ideas anyone? I've started thinking of going back to Gopro ! To make things worse the mobile Virb app is cr-p compared to Gopro,s !

    My pc had a bit of an issue with other applications open, but that was on the side of the graphics card, not Virb edit. Maybe try and shut other media processes down, ensure the minimum essential programs are running first before trying to start again? Just to rule out any conflicts.
  • Thanks for the reply ,but just had a call from PC shop I took it into they can't figure it out either !!! Very annoying ...have now given up :-( will have to use my old laptop which does work with Virb Edit but is way down on spec compared to my desktop it can only play clips in 720p and can't handle 1080p :-( all I can hope for is a Virb Edit update soon that might work .

    I'd be inclined to pass on your PC's details to Garmin support and let them know.

    The VIRB edit software is stupidly power hungry, the minimum required specs for it are quite high IMO, especially as it isn't all that fantastic. Apart from the metric overlays, there is little other benefits over other editing software.

    Thanks already emailed them they have asked for a screen shot .PC shop said a clean install of Windows 10 might do the job but that brings it own problems ,so probably going to go for a new high spec laptop to do my photo/film editing plus it will enhance my Zwift experience :-)

    PC Specs

    Hi there what are your pc specifications? CPU, Ram etc?
    So far we know you have the GT610

    I also question is your graphics card faulty for that type of error to occur could be a memory leak on the graphics card which can not be tested with memory tests as they test the computers memory.
    Have you the ability to take the card out and try with onboard cpu graphics? or another graphics card?

    Have you tried many other applications to see if you can run them and some games ok?


    Need more info first.
    Thanks
  • i'm having the same issue with the latest version of Virb Edit on my PC. It wont launnch. Black rectanglar boxes keep flashing on the screen indefinitely. Had no such issues with the previous version. Running in Windows 10 64bit under Bootcamp on a Mac with !2Gb RAM.
  • I have the same issue as this.
    System is Windows 10 / AMD A10-7800 with Radeon R7 graphics and 8GB of RAM. Works fine with VIRB Edit 3.2 and latest versions of GoPro software.
    Has anyone found a solution or got any ideas for getting it to work?
    Thanks
  • same problem here

    on the first "black flash" I think it says something like "updating database" ???

    too quick to be able to read

    FWIW - I deleted the old installation including the C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Garmin\VIRB Edit files

    reinstalled and it ran ok
