Thanks for the response. The Video FX list does populate in the View -> video FX tab. Whether I select them from there or from the clip itself it does the same thing. I did have V9a upgraded to 9b and all was working fine.
BTW, when I reload veg files created in 8, 9a or 9b the clip effects icon is green but I cant open the effect to adjust but it is still applied. Change can be seen when I bypass the effect.
Thanks,
Mike
