hey all,
i found out why (sort of) image(s) would not 'extend' out when using mouse or when setting time duration. apparently, while troubleshooting, i selected, of all the hundreds of images i have on my pc, the 3 images that would NOT work on VP!! what are the frikiin' odds of that? i went back and concluded that the problem had to either be: that the software was corrupt so i would have to remove and reinstall it OR images used were bad. i went the easier route and grabbed ANOTHER 4-5 banner images AND THEY ALL WORKED!. un-effin'-believable! now, the 3 images i used prior, that did not work happened to be gif files. gif files are suppose to work with VP right? they weren't animated gifs, look okay to me, am able to upload to my blogs and they view correctly. crazy.
anyway, appreciate all the replies. maybe if i had more sleep i would have figured this out sooner, without having to post, but c'est la vie, no?
