Yes, Yes and Yes
I even modified the veg to work with some of my art work to simulate what I was trying to accomplish.
That is when I noticed two things.
When I rendered the veg with my edits I noticed that the .avi file when played had some degradation to the vertical line (jagged edges)while paning, but was very well defined when the motion stopped.
This was after I placed my add-on art work ar the top of the vertical line. I saved the artwork in Illustrator as .png and that was when I saw that the colors had changed from the original .jpg artwork.
I went onto several png web sites to start reading up on png file types and their advantages over other forms of raster graphics and I'm still learning.
I have also just purchased the dvd instructional video from Class on demand by Doug Spotted Eagle and waiting for it to arrive.
I have been using Video factory for several years now but not in its typical form of use.
I instruct indoor cycling , coach triatheletes and coach cycling road racers. I have been using the software to put graphics and music together to teach my classes.
I am now trying to put together workouts for my clients and teams for off season workouts that implement graphics, text and music together(but in a more safisticated manor.)
This is becoming a long learning process, but I know that the end results will be worth the struggle.
I do very much appreciate the help you have given me so far and this "grass-hopper" has much to learn.
"For everything there is a first time"
Please keep the help coming.
Thank you
Tom
