RE: VPX9 - No audio after using Solo

Hi John EB, Thanks for taking a look. The movie was corrupt and copy/paste to a new movie solved this particular problem. However, I had other problems, like the one that I mentioned about exporting with masks not working properly and then I had two

RE: Why does it take forever to export a video in Movie Edit Pro Plus

Without the details that Roger mentions it's hard to see why your export speed should be so significantly slower than his, using his AMD-based PC. If posting those details here doesn't quickly explain the distinction, I'd suggest you then make a

RE: Collages length

Hi, No, you can’t speed it up in the usual way. There are two options (excluding the rather complex one of editing the collage from scratch to create a new one): 1. Simply export that short range, re-import it, and adjust the speed of that. 2. Less

RE: Collages - Limited to 30 objects?

Hi Terry If you look at any collage ini file you will find it has 30 placeholders only, whether adding more can be done needs to be tested. Hi John, Thanks - never spotted that! I'll try extending the INI. (Although I've already revised my 31-er

RE: MEP2018 Plus/Premium - where are own transitions and effects?

Hi John CB . . . . so if you don't know how it works, your transition will not show up under any existing tile. You have to place it elsewhere . . . . This is a common issue when creating your own transition, movement presets, collages, DVD/BD menu
