What the !@)(*& does that mean?

lol….I agree with you.
But Personally, i do not use any of their ready to go
projects… What i do often use is their Toxic Types
Collection in After Effects.

I passed on the Ready2Go offer when they first came out so I don’t know what’s in the package. Did you make the MOV file from Juicer?

> Did you make the MOV file from Juicer?

Yes. However, if you compare the file from the R2G source:
…Juicer 3CatalogR2GSVPRO_V03INSGolden MemoriesGolden Memories Sources

with the exported (“juice-d”) files:
…DigitalJuiceReady2GoGoldenMemories1080-30p_v1

there are two files exactly the same:
094_GoldenMemories_CP_HD_Layer2.mov

If you drop that into (eg) VLC, pause it at 5s, you see the ghost text “Main Title”. Thus, I’m inclined to suspect it didn’t get there via the Juicer, but rather was mistakenly merged into the background HD Layer2 .mov file.

Also, I probably can take a Compositor’s Toolkit 3 Surface Tension .mov, trim and replace it and all should be ok. But … it is annoying nonetheless.

This text formatter is just plain weird … one more try:

I think I am beginning to visualize the problem. Can you upload a screenshot?

Tried to put it here:

Hopefully you can see:
1. Track 12 in Vegas is solo-d and at 5s, there’s text in the preview window.
2. The file used, 094_GoldenMemories_CP_HD_Layer2.mov is in VLC. At 5s, the text is there too.
3. The Explorer window shows the file in question. That EXACT file is in the Juicer library … same name, size, contents, etc.

Me thinks the “Main Title” is inside the .mov file.
Clear as mud!?
;-*

[Steve Rhoden]

Yep. i see it. If all other tracks are muted and this
one mov. file is the only one being seen in the preview
window…..Then it is indeed embedded in that file.

Since your preview and VLC images are not of the same frame, it’s impossible to make an A-B comparison.

I don’t see any text in the preview window. If anything the preview is cleaner than the VLC image, but that could be because they are of different frames.

Since I don’t have the product, I don’t know what your finished project *should* look like. I am just seeing one frame from one track, and if there is some residual text there, I don’t see it.

Steve,

Steve Rhoden can see it.
You don’t need the same frame as it is a fade out.
Check here:

Scroll down to Golden Memories and play it. ~5s you’ll see “Main Title” fade out as Video Holder 1 is fading in.

Now look at my image. Look at the Preview, right around the left-center you can see the outline of the “M”. Look at VLC, around the left-center you can see the same “M” (of Main Title).

> don’t know what your finished project *should* look like
With the R2G … you replace the text in the Sony Text objects and the media in Video Holder #. So if I do that, I see the text (eg)
FooBar

with “Main Title” in the back.

That’s wrong …

[Stephen Mann]

I am still not seeing it on the preview, and I think I see it in the VLC image, but your arrow points to a blank part of the screen.

I think you will need to find someone else with the DJ product to duplicate your problem. I am not saying that DJ *didn’t* screw up the MOV file, (it wouldn’t be the first time) but I think you are throwing the needle into the haystack in your examples.

Can you use Juicer to export the background mov file only, then drop it alone into a Vegas project – does this show the remnants of the “Main Title” text?
