Thanks for the tip on the software limits. You have completely solved this mystery for us.

Kevin,
Your advice worked out perfectly. And I have learned in the process. Wow. The effect will be used many times over for the launch of the upcoming theatrical series. The solid circle acts as the “O” in the word “Spotlight,” traveling across other letters to land in its place. It intersects the letter “P.” I will now stencil alpha the rest of the word. And the Chanel style graphic you helped me with will be a large background moving element.
Thank you so much!
Have a great day!
Dave

Kevin, I wish I could show you, but I’ll have to explain using word pictures. Background is white. One orange circle is solid, created using the Ellipse Tool. The second orange circle is more like a donut, or a thick, flat ring. I created it using the Ellipse Tool as well, but with no fill, and a stroke of 74 pixels.
The donut is static. The circle slides in and slides underneath the donut–it reminds me of the Chanel logo. The area I would like to see as a “difference” is where the ring and solid circle intersect.
I applied two circular masks onto the shape layer I call “ball,” the solid circle. Both of these masks wrapped the perimeter of the ball. When I tried applying “Difference” to each of these, there was no effect. But I think I misunderstood you.
Can you clarify?
Thanks,

In a DVD player. I am helping another editor out. I am an Avid editor. She is overwhelmed by the export settings.

John, I now have a similar problem to what you posted here last August — same camera — but the Avid MC sees a Panasonic handycam. Amazing that it won’t see the Sony HVR-V1U. It used to. Any solutions on your end?

Are you trying to apply the effect to a the source clip or a precompute?

HDV out from software/DNA to HVR-V1U seems to be a no go.

Thanks Grinner. I’m working with Mojo, but bypassed it to go straight to the camera, my HVR-V1U. I just got the error message, “Export to HDV Device – DIODeviceManager::NewDevice DIO_VideoOuput failed.”
I will try going through the Mojo next.
