  RE: Merge video files - or should that be superimpose or even overlay?
  @me_again Hi Andy. This is why I suggested trying to make a matt dynamic mask that could be applied to the movement within each frame. It is more convoluted and can be painstaking but can work with isolating a bright subject compared to the

  RE: Merge video files - or should that be superimpose or even overlay?
  @browj2 @CubeAce I've had some success with masks but to be honest it's such a faff and doesn't look as good as I thought it would. If at some time there is a genuine reason to do it, then at least I now know how and I'll put more time into it.

  RE: Merge video files - or should that be superimpose or even overlay?
  @me_again Hi Andy. Try lining the clips up on individual tracks and using the Chroma Key effect using either STAMP or MIX on the lower tracks and vary the blend levels to taste. You may be limited to using only two or three tracks though. There may

  RE: Merge video files - or should that be superimpose or even overlay?
  @me_again Hi Andy, Yes, it's possible. You have to use masks and put the pertinent pieces of the video on separate tracks with a mask in between. Remember that the track protocol is that something on a higher numbered track sits on top of whatever

  RE: Throw out every line of code in VPX13 and start again - here's why.
  @Mr-Wood Hi, I have to disagree with your subject title. Obviously, if VPX12 worked so well, then so should 13 - it's the same program, but, VPX has a new engine and near complete modification of the View/Animation effects so they pretty much threw

  RE: Make Parts of an image move separate to each other giving a slight 3D
  @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

  @browj2 @Richard-Curtis Hi In my image, I cheated to get a more blue sky. I created a mask in Xara and applied it in VPX with a bit of blurring. I modified the sky of the part that shows in the mask to be more blue. Of course, this becomes difficult
