  RE: Proposed new computer specs for using VPX
  @browj2 Would it be better to go for a larger monitor, say, 32in? It would probably block out too much of the view from my window. You know you can buy transparent monitors! 😁 Measuring across the bottom ie only the horizontal dimension, my 27"

  @SteveCo Hi, Good question that will require long answers and likely some discussion. I'll use MEP for MMS as they are the same, VPX for Video Pro X. To start, no, there is no way to do what you suggest in MEP. Next, to keep the jargon straight, in

  RE: [RELEASE] Video Pro X13 – SIMPLY HIGH END.
  @CubeAce On reflection, I'm not surprised that the "transparent" video clip trick didn't work. In fact, I've found it doesn't work in VPX13 with any display settings using GPUs (the "software" options for display settings do work). That's because

  RE: [RELEASE] Video Pro X13 – SIMPLY HIGH END.
  @SevCardy Hi Sev. Second suggestion. Use a normal video file trimmed to length but pull the transparency down to the last two available sections of the slider. This appears black on my screen on the finished export (Not using VXP13 unfortunately)

  @DrGary Although I have never tried this I think you should be able to achieve something close to what you want by: Create a copy of your source image. On the copy, mask out the elements you do not want to see "moving". Make the masked out area
