Hello Tony Thank you for reviewing my query. I think it was just a bit of a glitch as I redid it, today, it and it was okay. Regards Tony

Hello All It's been a while since I've been here. Well, I thought I'd give you all a break and let you deal with more serious matters. I've come up with another one that I'm sure has an easy solution, and it''s this. If I have two clips which contain effects; specifically, Zoom and rotate, all works okay until I place a transisiton between them ...

Hi Richard I've tried that and got the date OK. Interestingly, when I saved a grabbed frame (in Studio 14) as a .jpg Exif Tool displayed an error message although it seems to work for .jpg files originating from a smartphone. I'll need to investigate this further if I want more detailed meta data. Regards Tony

Richard, Thank you very much for that information. As a result of which I can tell you that I'm already almost there as my editing PC not only has Studio 23 but also Studio 14 which I used extensively and still fiind useful. Some functions were better in 14 especially in transisitons than 23. Also I have always used firewire to capture. So I'll ...

Hi All Does anyone remember how, or if it's even possible to, retrieve the meta data from video on mini DV tape. I'm assuming that there would be, at least, some meta data recorded by the camcorder. I realise that it's down to the manufacturer of the camera to determine which, if any, meta data should be recorded. When importing mini digital ...

Hello, Thanks for your comment. However, your suggestion is the ripples I described in my prevoius post which is not what I'm trying to get.

The nearest I can find is: Newblue Motion Blends > Wave > Dreaming. The title speaks for itself. It's near enough. Thanks for your help. I believe these transitions can be modified. I've never tried it so I may have a go to see if I can make it more like I'm imagining it to be.

Yes Tony, I agree and it's quite a tricky thing to describe other than to say the whole picture seems go into a series of waves rather than ripples that emanate from the centre, like a stone being dropped into a pool of water. As I can't produce the effect I can't show it to you.

Hi All Is there a plugin for PS 23 that gives the dreamy/wavy effect like you see on TV where the subject is drifting off to sleep or into a trance? I've seen the ripple effects but these are not quite what I seek. Regards Tony

Yep. Got that. It sort of works ok but I'm currently working on an old movie that was recorded in 4:3 so I need to fix that. However, that is not an issue for you as I need to change the TV from 19:9 Many thanksd for your kind assistance. I should really have found that for myself. Best regards
