I'm using Vegas Pro 16 with Boris Continuum 11.0.3. When I apply the Layer Deformer effect to a video event, it works fine. I change the Front Texture Layer to "Source", my video becomes visible, and I can deform it to my heart's content. But when I put a JPEG image in the timeline and apply the Layer Deformer, I get nothing. Literally nothing. The event appears to be transparent. (A lower video track will show through.) Doesn't matter if the Front Material is set to Source or to any other preset. If I render a few seconds of the JPEG into video and put the result in the timeline, Layer Deformer is happy with it. Tried it in Vegas 15 with the same result. Tried converting the JPEG to PNG with the same result. Looks like any image file fails. Static media from media generators works ok, but that's not terribly useful.

From the little I can find in this forum and other places online, this is supposed to work. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
