PIAVE fixes all such errors/inconsistencies, but this is actually a 'feature' that can be switched off. > Piave should display black in these situations, I think ;-) MovieDVperfect displays a test screen. This way you'll notice directly if you have such errors/inconsistencies in your timeline. It's trivial to implement a command to let the user choose what happens with empty frames (black, white, testscreen, etc.) > We need to > discuss the best way to handle this and overlaying one image onto another > as well - I think that this needs to be standardised somewhat. What do you mean with overlaying? One problem I see is, when you have two clips on top of each other in the timeline and you have not defined an operation between the two. In this case piave uses a NullOp which will just pass through the fame from he first (top) track. Is this what you are referring to? -- Cheers, Rolf *************************************************************** Rolf Dubitzky e-mail: Rolf.Dubitzky at Physik.TU-Dresden.de s-mail see http://hep.phy.tu-dresden.de/~dubitzky/ ***************************************************************
