  RE: HDR effect does not work with MEP2014, 2016 or VPX7 on new machine with new Win10 Pro installation
  John, Peter, Thanks both, appreciate your help on this. I've added MEP 2014 to my existing 2016 & 2017. In MEP 2016 I then downloaded 3 of the 4 offered downloads: more NewBlue, proDAD, and the MPEG-4 codec. (Thought I already had that.) The

  @All, Just to confirm, I don't have the HDR problem on my desktop which was upgraded from W7 to W10 and then a W10 reinstall using the reinstall feature of the Blue Screen of Death tools (at least they have those). However, the problem persists on

  Hi @ Peter . . . . this HDR problem occurs only on machines with just Intel graphics only on New installations of Win10 and not upgrades from Win7 or 8, can you confirm your laptop has a new installation of 10? . . . . The laptop is also a Windows

  MEP 2016 bug: Backups reverse movie sequence

  John CB - I haven't mastered the curve yet I find this feature quite useful although I am in no way fully competent in it's use. In your example I would not increase the contrast slider because you shot is already too contrasty. I would apply 15 to

  Hi Terry, Try one of the other NB effects, I don't think that Titler counts as an effect. I just tried using NB Film Color and it worked....until I deleted the NB effect. Then it went back to being problematic. Here is what happens when I apply HDR

  Hi John EB, I try to avoid Brightness except when it looks like the image is blown out, then I reduce it ever so slightly. Take a look at the scopes in VPX and watch what happens using Brightness. I almost never increase brightness as it raises

  Hi Terry, I presume that you have the latest patches. HDR gamma works for me in MEP2016 Premium v15.0.0.107, don't have 2017. However, unlike Jeff, the latest patch for VPX broke HDR on my Surface Pro or at least I think that it had been fixed

  TRA still down. In the French forum, users are still having a problem but found a temporary workaround. First load an older version of VPX or MEP in which TRA works, exit, load VPX8 and it may work. I somehow did this a week ago and TRA worked.
