I would like to hear about this also, re to editing…
Additionally, some advice about building….Motherboards, etc.

Thanks..

I’ve had no reply to my question, so in case anyone is interested I’ll reply to myself

I am not a expert in AE, using it only as I need it and therefore often having to seek help

The problem is this: when there is one clip in the time line, scrubbing it leads to a blue overlay; when there are two clips, scrubbing one leads to both showing, one with a red or yellow, one with a blue overlay. It is like the “quickmask” in photoshop. It is very annoying.

I can find no settings that change this…

The video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 7300 SE. One of the monitors is a ViewSonic hooked up to the VGA output, the other a Samsung hooked to the digital output.

The display mode is dualview, the monitors configured independently which usually works well for what I do.

This problem seems to occur when the comp panel is moved to the Samsung monitor…it does not occur in the ViewSonic monitor.

At the very least, I would like to know what settings lead to the overlays?

Thank you.

Jon…Thanks for the response about rendering…

Here are some details:

Two DV cameras, captured avi clips of about one hour, put on separate tracks and synchronized in Seq 1.

Seq 1 than put in Seq 2 (nested?), multi enabled with sound from track 1.
Seq 2 then monitored with Camera 1 or Camera 2 being selected according to what looks best.

If I change anything in Seq 2, or Seq 1, then everything has to be re-rendered as I said earlier.

Are there specific folders that contain the rendered files that could be used if the current stuff is put in a new folder with nothing else changed?
