Hi Andy,

Thanks for your reply, perhaps I should be updating to 9.10 anyway, I
had considered this already. The program is still of use as is because I
have mainly been using it for the basic joining up of video clips and
exporting to .vob files. Great effort all round from you guys, I will
just monitor the forum and see if anything turns up in the way of a
solution in the meantime, thanks again.

regards Brent Williams

Bug description:
Hi,

When I use the chroma key effect and want to adjust it's settings I get a variance field to adjust, with the word 'key' below that but
no actual field, button etc to be able to designate a colour? Another problem is that when I go to the properties of a clip and at the "speed" tab try to adjust the speed the preview window goes black? as does the corresponding section in the exported file.
Several of the effects such as "burning tv" and "threshold" also produce a black or single coloured screen in the exported file?

Many thanks for your time, everyone involved, and keep up the great work.

Regards Brent
