Has anyone noticed that when you take a frame from your source video and make it a still for "freeze frame" effects, or if you superimpose titles on your video, that it darkens the image for the duration of the title/still?
Why does it do that and is there any way around that?
How are you applying your titles? If you're screening them in over black space, you'll get that problem. If you're working strictly on a transparent layer, then I don't see how your titles can be darker.
