  RE: Importing alpha channel footage
  @Garabato I don't know if this has been fixed in Movie Studio 2023 or not but the 2022 version doesn't handle the alpha channel in such files well. It does work in VPX 14 but may be file type dependant as there are a lot of variations to those

  RE: Karaoke: how do I do Text underlining or colorfilling for a set time?
  @john-x Hi, I think you're going to get a multitude of answers as there's more than one way to do that, whatever you do create you'll be able to export & then re-import onto the timeline, use Chromakey or green screen to overlay it, then stretch

  RE: Plug In's For MEP2016 Plus
  @CarpentersMate @johnebaker Hi John. You just jogged my memory. There is and has always been (at least from the 2018 version) an 'Old Movie' overlay in the effects 'General options' section, next to 'Shot match'. Ray.

  RE: Plug In's For MEP2016 Plus
  @CarpentersMate Hi Mike. Any image or text 'object' could be considered an overlay but how well it will work may vary depending in the desired result and the image object's background. After all, that is the way the TARDIS and all transporter beams

  @Stanislav-Zakharov Hi, Like Ray mentions, there is not a lot that has changed or improved between 14 and 15. There a some bugs that got fixed, some not fixed, and some new ones created. I like the new interface and find it crisper. Others don't

  RE: MS2023: area outside of the viewable screen; change color
  @nhong-xiong  I want to change it because I want to better see where the viewable area ends.  Agree. It's a real pain trying to see the edge of the movie verses the surround. @browj2 John it's the blank space around the the actual movie. The space

  RE: [Closed] Website Observation
  @Reyfox Hi Tony, Where I think you have a strong point is with VPX having movies within movies.  Not just that, but simply multiple movies in a project like DaVinci and Premiere Pro. Then the nesting feature. I thought that I had mentioned about the

  RE: No way to keyframe "Section" in View/Animation effects?
  @eSonOfAnder If, however, you do want to crop/pan/zoom, then Camera Zoomshot is your tool. One thing to remember about CZS is that the crop box is the same shape/ratio as your movie setting (which you say is 9:16), so that may not suit your current

  RE: No way to keyframe "Section" in View/Animation effects?
  @eSonOfAnder Aha! The old Section and Camera/Zoomshot. I love them both. You are correct about Section. You cannot keyframe it. It is a one-shot set-and-forget for that entire clip. It is designed to keep life simple if you need to zoom in a bit
