  RE: Can 1080 and 4K video be mixed in one project?
  All of our wedding work is a mix of 4k and 1080, we just set up a 4k project then render out to 1080. The one I am working on at the moment has 4 parallel video streams, 3 in 4k and 1 in 1080, plus two separate audio tracks. Much of the 4k footage

  RE: single frame from a video?
  I take about 40 stills from each wedding we film to add to the end with credits. Both the methods described by YR and John CB are of course correct. One thing to check, is to make sure that when you click Ctrl+alt+J(B) for a jpeg or bitmap, that in

  RE: Problem with stereo3d export side-by-side
  The problem with 3D export is unlikely to be with MEP as I have exported quite a few 3d videos over the years from Fuji W1 and W3 and JVC TD1. The problem is usually that different players, particularly tvs, seem to require different formats. I

  RE: VPX problem with Rotation/horizon levelling
  Hi Roger Some of the add ons which are licensed from third party suppliers also seem to be time limited or just don't work. For example, Mercalli V4 is a great stabiliser, but it needs re-licencing every couple of months. I don't understand that, V4

  RE: 2704 x 1520 30fps?
  Poor output quality is often due to low bitrate for export. I like to use MediaInfo (freeware utility) to find the bit rate of source video and set export to similar. Setting a lower bit rate will result in reduced quality but setting a higher bit
