ISSUE:
Selecting Perform Search in the Layer Editor or clicking Create Movie in the Edit Video screen causes the error message, "Error creating file. Verify that the start/stop times are valid before continuing."

RESOLUTION:
This error occurs if the video Begin and/or End times entered for the plays are missing or incorrect. Each play entered into FireScout must have a video Begin time and a video End time. The Begin time must be before the End time. After using the Layer Editor to search for specific plays, check the times listed in the Play Listing at the bottom of the Edit Video window. Verify that the times have been entered properly. If the times are incorrect, close the Edit Video window and return to the Data Entry window to enter the correct times.

For more information about entering video Begin and End times in the Data Entry window while scouting a game, see the User's Guide. A print version of the User's Guide is distributed with the product.
