Possible E5 bug

[Philip]

I was trying to use the blend filters filter today and used a Vitascene filter in the blend options. I didn't find the look I wanted in Vitascene so I attempted to exit out. The blend filter info dialog won't close. In the process of loading the Vitascene filter to the blend filter I got the "register" popup and tried to cancel out of it and another time just selected "start". I was able to get to Vitascene and try to pick a filter. I pressed the F12 from vitascene to exit out and return to Edius and this is where it locks the dialog. Guess plugin filters shouldn't be used with a Blend filter.

I'm surprised Vitascene even shows up in Blend Filters. Old-school filters (like Region) only work with other native filters.

Vitascene shows up but the NewBlue doesn't. I was hoping to use the New Blue Cartooner effect for this one trick I was trying to pull off.

Oh well...I will go with a stock filter.

You should be able to...
copy your clip to a higher track,
apply your filter,
render to the Timeline,
delete the copied clip,
use the Transparency Rubber Band to blend!

Doh...why didn't I think of that. I am usually good at thinking of ways to do things the software wasn't initially designed to do.
