Hi guys' I'm a new guy to video software.
I tried the trial Platinum for a week and installed Platinum 9 pro 2 days ago.
I have read manuals and looked at 100's of videos on net.
Please excuse me if I'm not explaining it properly.

Here is the issues I'm having.
I tried another project Media Generator sample text combined effects 3
Have it on time line added video affects flare no problem.
Next I decided to add a credit roll placed it in front of the sample text.
Messed with widths no problem.
Then I decide to add video FX TV simulator.
Problem occurs on text line every Media Generator I added has TV Simulator.
Like it is stuck in a loop. I can't find begining of where TV SImulator is located to remove.
How do you find what you added ? Sometimes I see items added other times nothing.

Next issue mask in Pro series I can't find it darn.
3d affects only blue with watermark.
I sure would like the 3D
Another issue is there away you can do a media generator say a credit roll. How do you save that and use it in other video's?

I guess I might be sucked into the full version. I surely felt I really didn't need it for my presentations of Lapidary and Silversmithing.

Just a senior trying something new.
Thanks,
CMan

Sound like you added it to the TRACK instead of to the EVENT. You can add effects in multiple places:

1. Event - it will only affect that one event
2. Track - it will affect all events on that one track
3. Project - it will affect everything in the projects
4. Project Media - It will affect that media no matter where it is on the timeline

Next issue mask in Pro series I can't find it

Masking in Pan/Crop is not in the Movie Studio versions. You'll need the Pro version for that feature. There are other ways to do masking depending on what you really need to do.

3d affects only blue with watermark.

Not sure what you mean by this.

Another issue is there away you can do a media generator say a credit roll. How do you save that and use it in other video's?

Multiple ways. Save as a preset, render out to a video file, in the Pro version use "nested veg's"...
