2 questions

Just received VV5 today and all I can say is WOW.....I told someone earlier I've gone from a crop duster to a F-117A overnight. I'm somewhat familiar with the interface from previous dealings but there are many many new features (to me anyway) that are awesome.

I'm reading and re-reading the documentation but I've come across two questions/comments:

1. Shouldn't I be able to use Boris Graffiti from within VV5 as a plug-in? It is not showing up anywhere that I can find it. Magic Bullet is showing but not Boris.

2. Where is the keyframe controller icon? (diamond with the plus sign)

Sorry for what I'm sure are extreme newbie questions but I'm going crazy trying to figure this out

Should be showing up in your FX. You might need to drag the dll onto the Vegas workspace/timeline to register it.

2. Where is the keyframe controller icon? (diamond with the plus sign)
look at the bottom of any filter, Pan/Crop, track motion, you'll see it there.
Welcome to Vegas!

Thanks for the info Spot....

Searched for, but couldn't find, the dll file (??) but I can work in Boris and export the files to VV. That will work until I can figure out why it's not showing up inside VV.

If you're using the free version that came with Vegas 5, it is a standalone version only. If you upgrade to the full Graffiti, that will integrate with the Vegas timeline.

I didn't realize that, I've got RED for Vegas, so don't use Grafitti. Plus, I've started using Cayman, it's much faster than RED/Graffiti.
Anyway, I'd assumed that Graffiti was like the original version of RED, requiring a dropped DLL on the workspace to register. Thx for the update.
