  RE: Pixillating 2 areas of a video sequence
  Very neat indeed John! What is particularly useful is the fact that the mask can be freely resized. In my version the background has to cover the entire film image area. My usual added note: if you name your mask 'whiteoval_alpha.png' the

  RE: How come I don't hear my Roland Juno 1 synthesizer playback
  "Is there a wire I need to buy for me to connect my Juno to the Line-IN?" Yes.  Since you didn't say, I am assuming your Line-IN jack accepts a mini 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo (TRS - tip/ring/sleeve) plug.  So, you would need a Y-adapter cable (or a

    It is not entirely clear what you're trying to say.  However, it sounds like you (and so many other people lately) are confused about MIDI. Plugging your Alpha Juno 1 into your computer using a MIDI/USB connection means you intend to

  RE: Alpha Effect Text Wont Export!
  The post I made at 2013-01-09 04:59 AM, with pictures, is how I solved the problem. When the alpha effected text was set up like the first image, the text would not export at all. But when I changed it to the second image, the problem was solved.

  RE: Text Wont Appear with Alpha Effect
  jmorrell, No problem here using MEP14. Export displays just as seen in the preview window. How are you introducing your texture? Note that the title with alpha effect added goes between the texture image and the background. See also here

  RE: [MEP17+] Gray key image matte...
  Glad to hear you're up and running. A tip mentioned elsewhere -- if you name your mask filename_alpha.jpg etc, it will load with the alpha effect automatically. You can still go to the window to make adjustments.

  RE: [MEP17+] Gray key image matte...
  Gorg, I've not got MEP17 to check just how it does it (14Plus >> 2013Premium) but what you want is 'alpha' chroma key. Basics are a stack of three tracks: Background image on higher (lower number) track. Alpha mask -- governs
