Hello Patrick Tried to reproduce and no joy seeing what you describe. Jing is a little application that allows with ease reccord, upload and share small screencasts. Maybe consider doing a small one just showing this happening. And if you do also show what's on you Transform tab options (button over SRT inputs). Maybe there's some option there that could be contributing to that. http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html
