I just found my old post re: this in the Movie Studio forum, I didn't have the search date set back far enough to find the thread.

Thanks anyway.

Byron.

From whence answers cometh matters not, as long as they doeth so. (Nothing like faux olde English to sound quasi-profound :)

Translation: Glad you found a solution.

…pro found what he was looking for

Quasi part was it’s a mask,either neg or positive you can’t have a mask both ways
I guess what Byron was asking how to get the mask to effect the layer so that the neg bit is transparent

Actually I was able to do this in Platinum 9, thanks to OhMyGosh's assistance, but I;ve found that it's easier and more elegant in Pro 9. (:

Since the release of 9a, I was able to complete my first video using multiple track motion tracks (rendering as I write this). It's by no means anywhere as nice as yours xfx. (;
