Clear all layers Load a line source in Layer 1. Set it to 1 line, rotation 135, position 50. Add the Mirror effect (basic preset) Effect parameters should be x = .5, y = 0, IN/OUT = 1, Flip X = checked, flip y = not checked. You should now essentially have turned the line into a V On the Mirror effe...

Potentially. You could load effects clips in a layer. Adding the crop effect to those clips you could have these effects only impact parts of your composition.

What is it that you are trying to do? There may be a much easier way to accomplish your end goal.

Its the generative visuals. I have the same MBP. If you throw clean HD clips at it, its ok. Anything else kills it.

It sounds kind of like your running the trial version. It will black out your composition(has resolume written but it’s hard to spot sometimes) and says “res oh lume” in a robotic voice. Pretty much like you’re describing. I might check to make sure it’s properly registered.

It would be amazing to see what their input/input map looks like.
