Hello,
I'm using Opus Pro 5.5. I want to use chroma key as the display type for one of my videos, but when I do, it cuts off about 10-15 pixels of the video's width on the right. Does anyone know why?
Thanks,
Mike

Guess I never counted the pixels that close. I'll have to take your word for the number of pixels which are "missing."

Did you try to expand the Video's frame? TV pictures are ususally cropped around all the edges by a few pixels. You usually see more of the actual video when it's viewed on a computer than on a TV set...

Did you try one of the other settings? You can NOT put text over a Video Object when it's set for Always On Top.

Hi,
I'm not sure it's exactly 10-15, I'm just guesstimating.

I've got the video frame set to the exact size of the video. When I set it to Always on Top or Rendered, the video is fine. It is only Chroma Key that cuts off pixels. I want to use Always On Top because I need to have a button on top of it, and I've read that rendered may slow down performance.
Thanks,
Mike

Always On Top will NOT allow you to put anything over the video when it's running. You do NOT want to use Always On Top if you need to place a Button (or anything else) over/on top of your video.

Yeah, I know, I'm sorry. I mistyped. I meant to say I want to use "Chroma Key". But it cuts off the pixels on the right.
