- Can't use C or S to split a clip. Have to use CTRL+K (!), or click a scissor icon on the playhead.
You can do what ATR suggests. Change the keyboard shortcuts wherever required.
- The font browser does not list each font in it's own font style. You have to click each individual font to see what it looks like.
Could you let me know what fonts do not appear the same on the monitor as in the thumbnails?
- Seems a bit buggy. I couldn't get the Vignetting effect to work. I fiddled with all the settings on both a video clip and a still image, and it just didn't do anything.
How were you trying to apply the effect and what do you see when you do so? Did you play around with all the sliders and still see no difference on the monitor? Is there a difference you see when you click on the monitor after applying the effect/changing the parameters through the slider?
- Whenever I try to add an effect from the Hollywood Looks menu, it brings up a warning that all my previous effects on that clip will be deleted. However it will let me add those same effects *after* applying Hollywood Looks.
This is because of how the Hollywood Looks are designed to be used. Since these are effect presets (multiple effects in combination) that result in a specific "look"; they are best applied in isolation. If any previous effect is applied and we still allow a Hollywood effect to be applied, we will not be able to see what the effect does clearly. For e.g. if you already have a Gaussian Blur effect applied to your clip, and then we allow you to apply the "Red Noir" Hollywood effect, the fact that the "Reds" in the scenes will be highlighted and the others converted to B/W will not be clearly seen since the content is already blurred out. So any previously applied effects was designed to be removed. This holds good even if you apply a Hollywood look "on top of" another one. The previous one will be replaced. Having said that, you can customize the look further by either tweaking an already applied filter or by adding a newer effect on top. That is the reason you can apply an effect on top of the Hollywood Effects and not vice versa.
- When you click a menu item (File, Edit, Clip, etc), you cannot move the mouse left or right to automatically open the next menu item. You have to individually click File, Edit, Clip, etc, to open those menus.
We have made a note of this behavior and agree that this is not ideal.
