Well sorry Jamie. I for one cannot understand or picture what you are trying to do. Maybe that is why you have had no responses yet. If you post some screen shots (which I think you INTENDED to do) it might help us all.

Martin, not sure of what you want exactly but, if you want to render in 16:9 format for widescreen and your still images are not in this aspect ratio then you will certainly lose some of the image when you make it conform to the widescreen format if you don’t allow the letterbox effect. If this is not a problem then simply right-click each image in the pan/crop window in Video FX and select ‘Match Output Aspect’. As long as your project settings are 720×576 then your images will be cropped to match this aspect. You may have to move the image around a bit of course in order to have the focus of the image on the screen.
Hope this helps. -
Yes, puzzling, but glad it now works.

Can you make a selection of just that part of the timeline that you think is giving you trouble (the region depicted in your image) and try to render it? If it renders properly we can go from there.

Again Gennady, not sure what you mean here. The keyboard shortcut ‘M’ simply adds a Marker to your timeline (not an audio keyframe – not sure what you mean by that). That marker relates to a point on your time line and not to a specific point on an event as you can discover by simply dragging the event along the timeline. The consecutively numbered markers remain in place and can be quickly located using the corresponding keyboard number.

Not sure what you mean here. Your WTF arrow points to the centre ‘grab’ of the events bounding box. This really has no real significance when playing back. Maybe your computer is starting to find it heavy going when your playback coincidentally reaches ABOUT this point.

I think all you need to do Grace is to drag the events, after you have trimmed them, onto each other by placing your cursor onto the event, not near the left and right edges, and drag left for the requisite cross-over duration. I suggest too that you enable ‘ripple editing – all tracks’ and work from the first event through to the last.
Does this help, if I have understood correctly? -
Patrick, it sounds as though you MAY be confusing fades with transitions. If you hover over the end of an event in the right spot (top right corner) your cursor changes to a kind of quarter circle image. If you drag this to the left it will create a fade to black (assuming there is no underlying track) and its duration will depend on just how far you drag it. You achieve the same effect by dragging a default dissolve transition onto the end of an event. Likewise, you can do the same at the beginning of an event.
I do not have Studio so some of what you describe I may not be able to emulate on my system, sorry. -
What Edward is saying is that, in order to have a transition, the two events NEED to overlap. You cannot fade from one to another without some of the event not being shown. That is the very nature of a dissolve. You can have a dissolve transition, where one event’s image slowly changes to show a second event’s image or a fade to black (or whatever colour) and then a fade from black transition. The first option you will see all the frames although some will eventually become none recognisable as the second event will superimpose it. With the second option obviously some of the frames will be various shades of grey to black.
If you do not want any frames ‘lost’ then it is simply a cut, ie, two events butted together. This is the most common ‘transition’. -
I understand although I am not sure why this would happen doing it like this but what I meant was to drag it AFTER you have changed the playback rate.
