  @jak.willis Hello Jak. Where is the link to the original file? So far, I think your main problems are stemming from how you record your footage more than how you are editing it. The lighting is fine but. I think you are videoing objects /characters

  @Peeteey Hi, Third option, raise a ticket with Magix and tell them to put back the zoom slider with % box. While you're at it, ask them to put back the z rotation handle on the image. Magix will not move unless many people complain. Until they do

  Thank you for that explanation, Ray. As for the Image Movement feature, what they replaced it with is ridiculous. Terrible. Trying to mimic what was an excellent feature in v2021, is disastrous, at best. Also, I didn't mean the multi-cam feature.

  RE: chroma key: how to get rid of green or grey fringe around the subject
  @kate-m Hi Kate. I take it you mean the shallow dof (Depth Of Field) and silky bokeh that can be the hallmark of some cinematic experiences. 😎. While a full frame camera with lots of photo-sites can be ideal for stills due to the resolution, 4K

  @emmrecs @johnebaker @kate-m @browj2 Hi Kate. I wish it were as simple as to why you suffer fringing more than John would if he tried but it basically boils down to your camera having a much larger sensor than Johns with many more photo sites and

  @kate-m Hi . . . . And for movement (which i do a lot in my video) i could try to decrease the time exposure? I have maybe misunderstood you, because i'm still learning how to use my camera :-) So from 1/100 to how high? It goes up quite high on my

  @kate-m Hi Kate. The Sony Alpha II is a full frame camera and good at both stills and video. The problem for video is it is it being full frame. Meaning that compared to an APS-C sized sensor (the next sized sensor down for Digital interchangeable

  Hey Ray, thank you for all your good detailed information :-) I'm filming at 1/100 with 50 frames/sec, because i've heard on a green screen tutorial, that that's a good idea. And it has improved things. The lighting on the green screen and on me (as

  RE: chroma key: how to get rid of green or grey fringe around the subject
  @kate-m Hi Kate. When using a DSLR or mirror-less camera that uses interchangeable lenses, using f stops of above f5.6 can increase exposure times in less than bright sunshine. Also when you get above f5.6 on a lot of cheaper zoom lenses you can get

  @kate-m Hi Kate. Then there is not much more you can do within Movie Edit Pro (MEP) as far as I'm aware. Daylight is seldom perfect despite being even and a higher frame rate does not always mean a shorter exposure time for each frame, so movement
