italiangen 0 Report post Posted December 2 Hi, I've reinstalled 6.29 and restarted a new project from source files. I'm now trying to apply a polygon mask to a portion of an image but it is not showing up in the sequence preview for an accurate alignment. Prior to the mask, I re-positioned the frame to the left for a later overlay on right half of the frame. I've done masks on other project but for some reason it is just not working. I've check the "View" tab but am unsure if this is the problem. I'm sure you are going to tell me it's a simple adjustment.....:-)) Thanks for your help.

italiangen 0 Report post Posted December 2 Could the issue be that I purchased the Home addition originally but now see that I downloaded the Professional version? Could this have anything to do with this? There was not a choice of the two version in the "Old Versions" download site. PeterD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nationalsolo 0 Report post Posted December 2 Hi VP 7.5 Beta After clicking FX for the clip in question and when you set up a polygon mask it only appears in the Clip Preview window.not the Sequence Preview window. (See below) If you go into the Options you can set up Dual Display. which you may find more useful. Clip Preview will be on the left.... If you want to more accurately place the mask then click the two arrows at the top right of the clip preview window to enlarge the preview window.

borate 0 Report post Posted December 2 Don't believe changes have been made to how the mask works. This has nothing to do with 'home' vs. 'pro.' If the effects window is invoked, either with the fx on the sequence clip or via a right-click|VIDEO EFFECTS on the bin clip, the mask should appear in Clip Preview.

Nationalsolo 0 Report post Posted December 3 Hi Version 6.29 works in exactly the same way as described except that there is a single arrow in a box top right to undock the preview window. Nat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
