This may sound strange, but might be worth a try. As of Adobe CS3, you can import a video clip into Photoshop and apply adjustments and filters to the whole clip. The Shadow/Highlight adjustment does a great job of reducing bright spots while not affecting darker areas. It’s a little tricky to figure out how to do this, but it’s explained in the help files.

I am having lots of freezing issues as well. See my post below. (Unfortunately, no one seemed to have any advice to offer). Try disabling your virus protection. That helped my issue somewhat, but not completely.

I think your window has been lost amongst the docked windows. Try returning to the default window layout under the view menu.

I assume you are in the command tab for Photo Montage, right?
click the Edit List Button in the Transition FX section. open the Sony Dissolve part of the list, select Additive Dissolve and Click Add>> to add it to the list on the right.
When you click Okay, it should be the only plug in showing and will be applied when you click apply at top.Regards,

I tried it. It works. Thanks to your informant.

I think I’ll give it a try when I have a chance. It seems like I tried everything in the custom settings to no avail. I hope this works!

Render your video as a NTSC DV Widescreen avi file. Put that in a new blank project with the project properties set to NTSC DV (not widescreen). What you should see in the preview window is your widescreen video with black bars at top and bottom. Render as a .mov. The mov file will have them too – it will look like letterboxing – but at least your video won’t be squeezed or stretched.

I’m pretty sure I’ve done this in the past by using a lens flare effect (and maybe also glow and light rays) on the light saber track.
You have to keyframe the effects to ramp up quickly right where the light saber hits something and then ramp down quickly.Mary Waitrovich

see this previous thread where I asked about the same problem:
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/24/884390#884409I’m not happy with this solution and can’t believe FCP editors have to do this, but it does work.

There are numerous ways out of your dilemma. One way: Render your project as an NTSC DV .avi file. You can burn that to a CD-ROM or re-render it to other formats without losing quality. Basically, render the file you want to put on the CD, then you can remove the DVD without losing anything.
