HELP! "Overlaid images affecting the track below" problem! at DVinfo.net

Neill Phillips · February 20th, 2006, 06:07 AM

Sorry for the vague title description but I am having a strange problem with Premiere Pro 1.51.

Track 1 contains the video clip, Track 2 contains a PSD graphic with a transparent background (this stays on the timeline for the duration of the specific vide clip). track 3 occasionally has a crawl or another PSD image which is introduced at various points during the timeline.

Now my problem is that recently, when overlaying the image or title on Track 3, the PSD graphic reduces in scale for the duration of the graphic on Track 3! It then goes back to it's original size when the Track 3 image has finished on the timeline.

Does anyone have any idea as to what is going on????

Thanks in advance

Neill

Are the graphics the same pixel resolution?

Thanks for the reply Jonathan. It seems as if the pixel aspect ratio was slightly different! Schoolboy error on my part!
I am using Matrox RT100 and the PAR settings are 1.067. The photoshop graphics were set to square pixels. It was wierd that Matrox had correctly framed the graphic but when I introduced another graphic ontop, it would reduce the one underneath smaller...

Oh well, computers...

Thanks!
