  • Effects – Like a broken joystick

    This is a good one – when using any effects — cookie cutter, brightness — anything, when applied to the video, the effect is not impacting the entire frame and its not alligned.. for example, when trying to do a simple cookie cutter — a circle or example, when applied, the shows the circle off to the side.. same for any shape or effect.. the effect is just like you would get if you used a conventional switcher and applied a wipe and the joystick was on and set to the far left instead of center — the old switchers would have a switch (position on/off) and this result looks just like that! Does anyone know what I’m talking about… is there a master “unity” switch that resets everything?

    Help! I’m “effectless” until I can fix this… BTW, when you try to add an effect, Brightness/Contrast, I get the effect on HALF the frame..

    Im using 6.0d

    Sounds like you have the “split screen” view turned on. It’s the button just above the preview screen that’s a circle half dark and half light. There’s also a drop-down arrow beside the button that allows you to change modes. You might want to search the help file for more details on how useful it can be.

    I thought that as well but when I set the split screen to on e half and then added a cookie cutout to the center of the event it shouwed the left half of the cutout. Not the same as it being offset to the left.

    However, if I set the cookie on the event but have the whole track moved to the left then all my effects move over there too. Could that be it?

    Actually, the way it’s described it sounds like a combination of the two things.
