Thanks kindly for your quick reply, Tom.

I tried your solution and it works… and it doesn’t.

The commands all work from the Mark menu as you advised but my ‘Marker’ keyboard shortcuts don’t work – just M to set a marker and that’s it. The others you mentioned do nothing.

Weird?

At least, I can work from the menu… but knowing I should have keyboard shortcuts bugs me.

Thanks for you help regardless. Much appreciated,

ALEX

Thanks guys,

Will take both of your ideas on board and give them a try.

I’ve played with the ‘clone brush’ in other programs before but have never been satisfied with the end result. It works ok when the background is reasonably still or uniform (like a blue sky or blank wall) but if it’s moving or complex (like a forest in the wind) it’s impossible to get a nice effect ie. you can see where the composites don’t match (a fuzzy movement).

Worth trying in different situations though – I’ve found that there is no one way to do anything/every situation is different (what works in one, won’t work in another) so I’m not discounting the ‘clone brush’ method at all.

Will definitely shoot on Progressive frames, Jerry. Sounds like a nightmare trying to deinterlace and reformat, etc, etc on the martial arts project. Looking forward (some day) to a ‘one-format world’. Is that too much of a fantasy? Maybe in a decade they’ll get it sorted?

Anyway, your advice is very much appreciated, Steve & Jerry.
