  RE: Collage >4 01: 6 minutes for 9 secs (40 to 1)?
  It's incredible how long MEPP 2016 (and I'm guessing 2017/2018?) take to render apparently simple collages. I've just included the two landscape object > 02 04 in my current (1920x1080 50 fps) project. The collage, applied to two 4 second JPGs,

  RE: Collage >4 01: 6 minutes for 9 secs (40 to 1)?
  That's a relief - glad I asked! I ran it again using full duration of 22 s. Took 15 mins 17 s! (916 s, i.e. ratio of 42 to 1.) Had the side of my case off to check for dust, thinking possible overheating, but it was surprisingly clean. And I gather

  Collage >4 01: 6 minutes for 9 secs (40 to 1)?
  It's a long while since I used this particular collage for four landscape JPGs. I selected a range covering the first 9 seconds of its 22 seconds and exported at 50 fps, 1920x1080, 16:9, my project settings. At around 1 minute it slowed even more

  Hi Terry . . . . At 4:3 or similar, don't you get more flexibility? . . . . Depends on how many portrait images you take - me virtually none, however one advantage of 16:9 for portrait mode is tall buildings get more in especially in cities where

  RE: MEP 2016 setting not working?
  I'm not sure about setting to 16:9. At 4:3 or similar, don't you get more flexibility? More scope for vertical pans, zooms, cropping, etc? How many hours I've wasted struggling with photo time syncing issues! Accuracy is important to me for video

  Thanks John. I got that message in MEP Premium but not in MEP 2016. I'm guessing at some stage I told it not to display it again. It's a confusing design IMO. Having set it to automatically fill the screen, that's what it should do! i don't like

  Hi Terry On that map I can detect no difference after clicking Auto exposure! Even on landscape photos like this one the difference seems rather small. I can not explain why Auto Exposure in MEP is not creating a big change in contrast on the map
