Re: Tutorial: Wanna Switch? - Lesson 5 - Effects & Titling
by Jeremy Cole

Question: I have the 5.5.2 trial.
I created a lower third in Marque, saved it to a bin, edited the title into my sequence and then tried to put a 'picture-in-picture' effect on it (slide in from the left). I got the 'Does not apply' error. I tried it a couple of times, double clicked on the timeline, opened the nested effect (title), closed it and then suddenly the 'picture-in-picture' effect worked. I tried repeating my actions on another lower third and I could not get the picture-in-picture effect to work. What is going on? Bug or user error?

Regards,
Jeremy

Figured it out. Needed to promote the title to 3D. Then I could do the push on with ease.
