That is the source of a lot of your frustration when it comes to using overlays. Ulead Mediastudio Pro's last version was 8.1 which had a service pack released back in June of 2006. It doesn't have support for a small chunk of, now important, filetypes like .png, .aac, h.264, and so on. The reason for a lot of the hard edges on the effects in your video stems from not being able to use images/image sequences that have native transparency built in. Not being able to use .png alone can be pretty crippling.JongWooKimX9 said:What do you shoot/edit on? We used an HV20 and edited on ULEAD MediaStudio Pro, which I think is some kind of relic from the Triassic.
For visual effects I suggest a program like Adobe After Effects. It's pretty streamlined and easy to use. If you have people who are also working on the project with you and they have After Effects, you can send them project file and all they have to do is load up the project file and they have all the same effects and settings you do.
