  RE: Trying to trace a route along a map of the Yangtze River
  @FF22 Hi, You're going to need to increase the duration and then adjust the keyframes. Your KF's are too close together where the change is too quick. If you want to trace a route, why don't you try Travel Maps (Edit, Wizards, Travel Route

  RE: Script Error when launching Travel Route utility
  @emmrecs Regardless of how I answer the "continue running scripts" prompt, the travel animation screen loads (see attached image) and displays a light blue background where the map is supposed to be. At that point, zooming in/out has no effect, and

  RE: Creating camcorder effect?
  @emmrecs @Kraznet If you look up camcorder effect on the internet it comes up with basically changing the aspect ratio to the older analog screen sizes and changing the colour profile. Perhaps adding bit of softening to the image. It won't be as

  @Scenestealer Hi Peter. Taking your last point first. Both were in use when I got the lowest export times. I've no idea why but with one or the other not ticked the export times were slower. I am now getting even more confused while trying to setup

  RE: Zooming to a specific spot on jpg then holding that spot for x seconds
  @FF22 Hi, To do this, you need to understand keyframes. There is a quick way to get going by using Effects>View/Animation>Camera/Zoom shot. There is a good chapter in the manual about this. With a video or photo selected on the timeline,

  @FF22 Unless you have a simple project with mostly just photos, no music, no overlays (PiP), few titles, do not use Storyboard mode, use Timeline mode. You have to be able to see what you are editing. I have audio and video on separate tracks. I

  RE: Where did the key frames go for Title Templates?
  I can install a 3D animated title. But I don't get the pop up xara app that you get. Since Ray didn't see it either, I think it might be because you have MEP 2016 on your system. I'll go to my other box for grins to see if MEP 2016 still works there
