PiP Help Needed

Post by Black Lab »

This is my first time using the PiP filter and I am having some problems. Hopefully somebody can tell me what I am doing wrong.

I am applying the Gentle Reflection effect, and using the default settings. You can see in the sample below the nice soft reflection and fade that are set for the PiP.

When I click OK and return to my project timeline, it looks like this.

Even though there is opacity and fade set for the reflection (84 and 39 respectively), the image appears as if they are both set to zero.

Jeff,

I don't think you're applying a Mask to your photo.

Thanks Ron. That was it. Even watched a YouTube tutorial by NewBlue and it never mentioned applying a mask.

Now to finish up the wedding video...
