This is for any Razor Pro gurus out there. I am having problems trying to do a couple of things. I have a series of PAR, still and audio clips on the composition timeline. After arranging them and getting my transitions just right I have decided to remove a couple of clips in the middle of the timeline. My question is how do I now eliminate the resulting gap. I have tried using relative mode before deleting, which does nothing, and also when trying to drag the next clip on the right to the left, but it just pushes the clip on the left downward. I haven't had any problems filling in spaces of a few frames using the relative drag left technique, but it just won't work here. Lastly, I am trying to key out some captured video that was shot in front of a studio bluescreen. It worked fine in Premiere, but in Razor I am having problems with a blue tint on the edge of the actors' skin and clothing. This may be result of the transfer from Beta to S-VHS before I captured the footage with the PAR. Yes, I am using multiple keys on the same clip, but the blue I am talking about is past the actors outline. What I need to know is if there is a way to filter out the blue in the keyed forgound clip after it is keyed, but before it is composited with the background. I have tried using "adjust channels" and "color correction" but they effect the whole image. I need to lower the SATURATION of the blue that is left after keying so it will not be as noticable. Any ideas on how this might be accomplished? Thanks Mitch
