Hi Terry. Yes sure, my pleasure. I normally use Wetransfer so if you pm me an email address I'll send it back to you. I can't say I spent much time on it if I'm honest. I would normally do much more tidying up of the files but got a bit pressed for

@CubeAce Hi Ray Here is my take on challenge 2. Same technique as before however I hit a bug in the Size/Position effect - if you set the width height too high it goes berserk, the limit appears to be about 36000, and will not allow you to centre

RE: Masks and the use of the Chroma Key Enquiry.

@johnebaker Morning John, I think the holes are in the Boat image, white bg, with Chromakey Black (Black box) applied. Agreed, although I don't understand why the mask for MEP text should be flawed in that way, and apparently not fixable with the

RE: Masks and the use of the Chroma Key Enquiry.

@terrypin High Terry. It should be perfect but the Alpha mask at my end at least is not. Both sliders are at the right side but the lower one needs to be eased off one position using the mouse wheel while the top on can be hard right. As there are

@johnebaker Hi John, But shouldn’t the inbuilt mask for text made in the MEP Title Editor be perfect? That was made in my familiar MEPP 2016. I’ll try 2017 although I doubt there will be any distinction. Not sure about current versions though. I

@terrypin Hi . . . Couldn't fix either by playing with the two chroma sliders. . . . I suspect the stray holes are literally that in the mask. For example if done in PSP and background was painted with a brush there may be missed spots. John EB

@browj2 Hi John. The stills image is correct. How you would get that to work within Bluff Titler I have no idea but at present the moving text is behind the main text, not in it. The 'BLUFF' title could just as easily be made in a stills editing
