Take a moment to check the FAQ's (frequently asked questions)

  • MovingPicture does not extract the picture to move from the NLE's timeline, as most limit the resolution that is passed onto any plug in to the final output video resolution, which is too small for zooming into without breaking up. Use the Load Picture menu option in the MovingPicture interface to load your image.
  • When rendered, a red bar will appear in the middle of the image. This will disappear when the product is registered, but you will need to re-render the move.
