BrianLyons315 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I'm currently making a video that involves photoshopping heads on people's bodies. However, everytime I try to go forward, the screen turns black and I can't see the areas I'm trying to animate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 If you are attempting to overlay a scaled down head over a background body on a lower track, click the VIEW icon and chose Clip + Background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianLyons315 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Thank you. Problem solved. I take it back. The Screen is still blacking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Let's see the project, and someone will get to the bottom of this issue. It's easy, quick and can be private. Just follow these simple steps... 1. With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left. Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER. Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER. 2. Locate the saved, numbered folder. No need to upload the export or VPJ files. Upload it to a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* 3. Get a shared, public link. If using Google Drive click GET SHAREABLE LINK. Click the blue "Change to anyone with the link..." Then click COPY LINK | DONE. 4. Paste that link here, or click the folder, above top-right in this forum, and message it to me. This is private and won't be shared. * Before uploading, right-click the folder, click PROPERTIES. Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationalsolo Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hi Usually adding scaled down overlays as Borate describes is straightforward. However, without seeing your project or a short extract that is showing the problem it's difficult to evaluate it. However as a suggestion; are you viewing your editing using dual displays? if not, set it up under Options/Display. Overlays etc. are more easily monitored when you can see both clip and sequence simultaneously. Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianLyons315 Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 It's Glitching. First the screen blacks out and now every time I try to make progress all the characters disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Upload the project, as instructed above. Under OPTIONS | DISK tab Clear Unused Cache Files. Confirm that video drivers and Direct-X are up to date... https://www.nch.com.au/kb/10265.html What version of VP is being used? Try this one. For licensed users upgrades are free for up to six months from purchase date. After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee will be required in order to register the newest. Retain your old install file and registration info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
