Brian, I too am not near my Amiga and can't give you the exact but basically what you say is what I am doing. Script: Amiga:arexxscript(trexx.cg13) – to load up the cg page Player a:in(00:23:14:10) Amiga:arexxscript(trexx.auto) – to key the page over the now running video Amiga:waittime(3secs) Amiga:arexxcript(trexx.off) – pull the key page off. Player a:out(00:23:24:10) I understand about saving the CG page to disk for faster operation but it still is pretty slow. I mean if you only have a cut that is 6 seconds or so long and you need to overlay almost immediately after cueing up then it doesn't seem to work too well. I am using a Zeus 040/33 too. First time I tried to do page building. ie Key line 1 then key line2 on the same page I found out the CG was not up to snuff. Sometimes I wish I could still go back to DPAINT and my Supergen. Then all I had to do was pop the next frame from the keyboard at the exact instant I wanted to overlay. Rocky
