I like using apps with "always on top"/transparency functionality for changenotes while editing; the Stickies app or Helium (always on top and transparency for web pages). They work great with all the other apps I use except Media Composer which banishes them into the background. Can someone...

Hi All, when I get graphic assets from the graphics dept. they usually are not the correct duration that I need. So as not to bother them with timings, I usually either chop the static sections of the animation to shorten them or use the freeze frame function to make a static section of the animation...

Once you get the image into your timeline, do you have to apply an affect, or work wiith in it in the marquee tool? Im pretty new to this program so i would love some help on this one.

When the title is saved, it works correctly on the timeline, with transparency. Already created titles in a bin, when dropped on the timeline initially...

Hi! Probably this will be an easy question. You may know the effect can be seen in many movies, when a wall, or a tree or something masks out the titling. I want to do this in AMC. I want to roll up the end credits, and make it disappear by a line (edge of a recangle for example). Of course the shape...

Hey there, I've got a short 10 sec sequence that I want to export as a .TGA but I need the background to be transparrant. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance
