  RE: Scaling Vectors movie template
  Hi, I presume that "Scaling vectors" is in 2015 as I only have 2013 Deluxe. As far as I know, you can't change the source code for the templates. You can make your own, more or less, and you can modify the results on the timeline. For the

  RE: Nudge track with Keyboard Shortcut?
  Hi Rick, Maybe Terry has found a way, but I couldn't find one, not even a poosibility to add a hot key to nudge an object. In MEP, the smallest amount that you can move an audio file is 1 frame. In VPX6, you can move it less than a frame. I

  RE: Inconsistent 'end' of an object
