  RE: Unwanted Black Background in Title
  Hi John CB, At first that bizarre work-around of saving (an incorrectly displayed project!), exiting and restarting seemed to work. But when I previewed all the objects, the effect was gone again. (Ive written a macro that jumps quickly to each

  Are you sure you made the project + media backup carefully? I had an error message on running your MVP, including something like "No default presets found". Despite that it did load, producing worse results than before. Your suggestion sounds

  Macro Won't Initiate Commands One After Another User Needs To Click OK

  RE: MEP 2017(18) Pro - Latest Update
  Hi Terry, From what I understand, your macros use the position on the screen. If so, the addition of the Store tab may have messed things up. However, I think that probably this will be the last physical change for quite a while, so you may be able

  RE: MEP 2017(18) Pro - Latest Update
  Although my reasons were mainly because of familiarity, my many macros, my file structure, I’m rather pleased I haven’t ‘uograded’ from MEPP 2016 yet!

  RE: Font limitations in titling
  I’ve no experience of Bitstream Font Navigator, but it sounds as if it’s a low-level program with which MEP conflicts. I have a low-level program which has the same problem, only with MEP. It’s my macro writing app, Macro Express Pro. Certain simple

  RE: Another 'single object mode' bug?
  Hi John, "You lost me on that one!" I'm not surprised as on re-checking it looks like I'm quite mistaken.😊 But apart from the trivial different representation, was there not a period when the full fade to black and back of 'Thru black' was changed

  Mike, It's consistent across projects. I still regard it as a bug. Despite the acknowledged difficulties (particularly the different treatment needed for video versus images) it could have been coded more intelligently. John, Is this the thread you

  RE: Minimising project media backup storage
  Hi John, Been there...greatly frustrating. With longish compositions I do as you did, in my case with a hot key macro, pasting to a text file. Still need to assemble screenshots etc again though. Ah, fishing - an obsession in my 20s/30s. Still have

  RE: 3d Titling - has it been cut back?
  Given the limited use I make of 3D titles I'll be happy enough with that sort of simple approach. I made quite a few templates of my own way back, but not sure I ever subsequently used them. Like my Bluff Titler stuff, macros, MEP collages, etc, I
