Mike, Guess I overlooked the obvious regarding Preferences! I use The Director and since it boots to a cli the idea of using Preferences didnt occurr to me. BTW, another thing that is driving me crazy is the inability of my genlock to lock on to the signal of an image that has been recorded with the source VCR on pause. My idea was to pause the source image and record that still image on VCR #2, then to use the recording from VCR #2 as a source over which I would overlay graphics from the Amiga (A sort of poor man's Perfect Vision). Trouble is, the computer generated graphics jump all over the screen when genlocked to the still image. The VCR I use for source is a 4-head model (Sylvania VC4040AT01). Do you know of a way around this? Would using a video camera to tape the still image directly from the monitor screen give me a stable enough image that I could use a genlock with it (assuming the quality of such an image would be acceptable)? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanx, Nick Moore
