Black background

John,

Some simple things to try:

- Resize the background image to be the same size as the final rendered
image.
- Make sure the aspect ratio of the background image is correct and the
dimensions are multiples of 64.
- Save the background image as another bitmap file type - e.g. BMP, JPG,
24-bit TGA - and use that.
- Make absolutely sure your background image is not larger than 4096 pixels
in either dimension. tS (or more accurately, Lightworks) will render it as
solid black if you do.

Anthony
