Overlay image preset help, please
Hi folks,
I'm attempting to use the image overlay preset to place a small image in the corner of a larger video. trk1 is the image with the preset set up to place the image correctly at the right time. trk2 is the video the video looks fine, but when it comes time for the image to appear in the corner, the entire screen goes black for a split second. then the image comes up overlaid correctly on the video. What am I doing wrong? thanks! |

It sounds like there is a tiny section of the timeline where there is no video item present on either track.

I'm having the same problem. I was hoping the suggested alpha channel setting would fix it, but that created other problems for me. I'm using some PNG files with transparency, and it messed that all up.
I have also noticed that the playback cursor and transport time readout momentarily freeze when it hits the image overlay, at the same time the video goes black, then skips ahead and moves smoothly when the video returns. It's like the whole GUI is freezing up temporarily. The render is fine, but it definitely makes editing videos with lots of images annoying! |

that worked for me
Yes having the same problem. The first DirectShow force options fix it for me. Thank you for the info. For me this just started when I downloaded to v6.32

I have always had the issue when the screen blanks for a second when Reaper is displaying multiple videos, specifically when it gets to the point of having to open an additional video. It makes editing difficult.
When I render however it has never had the issue carry over to the output video, so I just learned to live with it. Considering that when my slow system renders a MOV file it rarely does it faster than .8x, that would indicate that it just can't keep up processing all of that data in real time. |

What you are reporting in the preview about the black screen is annoying but normal. One way to test a transition is to extend the start of item to the left with an opacity of zero.
