Not sure why but I bring a photo or graphic into the timeline. I have no way to stretch it out further on the timeline. I don't get the regular lines like I use to have in 17?
Sorry to say Movie Studio 18 is not a VEGAS product and support for it is not available on this site. However, support for Movie Studio 18 is available from the Magix user forum at https://www.magix.info/us/news-forum/ .
Further information why Movie Studio 18 is not an upgrade to VEGAS Movie Studio 17, see here.
