Scrolling Timeline in FCP - Hack???
I have a very skilled editor that would just feel that everything is right in the world if his timeline updated with his play head.

Autodesk Combustion Forum
What Combustion can do that After Effects Can't
I know this is a boring question but I am tired of hear my friends saying that I am wasting my time studying Combustion. Every time we talk about some trick that I discover using Combustion, one of my friends say that After have it too.

Sony Vegas Forum
Using ArtBeat Transitions
I have some ArtBeat transitions (such as a tiny plane flying in and then swooping over the full screen) and these transitions have a black background. How can I insert these transitions so that only the animated image (like the plane) shows on the screen and not the black background.
