Basic editing question...

[Geoffers]

Sorry this is basic but the manual doesn't seem to make it very clear:
If you apply a filter to a clip, then join it to another clip with a transition, the filter gets applied to that too. How can I stop that happening?

filters only apply to clips, so what you are saying is impossible, unless you meant keyers?

if you meant keyers, then there is a simple way to avoid that by using AB editing

Thanks Anton, yes keyers it is. Is it therefore impossible to go from a, say PIP - I used the 3d PIP keyer to make the picture stay half size centre screen as the background to a title, with a white border - to a full screen clip via a transition ? That used to be possible in Edition.

doing it by same track transition is impossible

doing it with AB style is very easy and I do this daily, you have 900% more control over everything as compared to same track stuff

once you like AB, you will be happier than a lotto winner
