You want to work with a smaller resolution. For this reason, if you apply masks, you will have to scale the mask points to the original resolution when you put back your original footage in your .xml. There are some plugins that also reference absolut pixel values, most prominently the titler plugin. You will have to post-process its settings, too. But there are others, too, like the Wave plugin or Decimate plugin. Things are certainly not as straight forward as to change a symlink! -- Hannes _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
