It was already turned on–still not working. Jim

Jim, e-mail me with more information and the VEG file in question. As long as all the markers are set up correctly, it should be dissolving unless the switch Gary mentioned is set wrong. It will help for me to see the VEG, though.

Also, note that there is a new version now available. Excalibur 4.6 can be downloaded now and has even more control over dissolves. The markers can be set as follows:

1d – Dissolve to camera 1 centered on marker (exactly the same as before)
1c – Cut to camera 1 (exactly the same as before)
1b – Dissolve to camera 1 with the entire dissolve BEFORE the marker
1a – Dissolve to camera 1 with the entire dissolve AFTER the marker

There’s also some other neat new features including the new Quick Label tool and some major enhancements to the Voice Over tool.

Edward, thanks for looking at my veg file, and letting me know what I did wrong, not using the markers the way Excalibur 4.5 is designed to handle them. I appreciate you generosity and willingness to solve these “mysteries” for me. Jim
