  RE: Editing an inserted still image
  Thanks John. I was looking to remove some of the background. Maybe I can do that with a mask? I'll watch some of the posted tutorials - I need a better understanding of using masks. Thanks again, I kinda figured that - just wanted to make

  RE: Lines drawing
  @johnebaker @wabu @browj2 @CubeAce @Turkana I continued my attempts to make an animated, curved line exclusively with MEP and its tools. But the reveal method proved beyond me for Richard’s Gedi example. (Or the equivalent method of doing the reveal

  RE: Synchronising scrolling text
  @Aitch Hi, I'll start at the end. In MEP, if video and audio are not on separate tracks, then clicking on M in the track header (see the hint) or in the Mixer will turn off the track - everything. I always work with video and audio on separate

  RE: Lines drawing
  @terrypin Hi Terry This was my take on @wabu method I did back in 2010 - the red line is a png image with transparent background and the mask is an odd shape to enable rotation as well as positioning to go round corners HTH John EB

  RE: Lines drawing
  @Turkana @johnebaker @browj2 @CubeAce Pleased to hear you're reasonably happy so far. But if you're still keen on creating that Gedi type of animation (i.e. with a curved line, not several straight ones), you can do so entirely within MEP.. Use the

  RE: 'Layering' - Is there a way of doing this?
  @weedavy6969 Hi Davy. Yes. Basically that's it but masking may become a pain depending on what you are doing and clip positioning will need to change if you make one object go around another. It can get as complicated as you want but it can. A: Do

  RE: Zooming in on an image
  @Frank-Hough @johnebaker @Scenestealer @browj2 "I think I have to accept that in MEP I will have to get use to using masks." Hi Frank, Are you saying that you'd rather use unmasked (unblurred/unfeathered) images as you did in your previous video
