Hello all,

Whenever I drag an RT effect from Boris titler to a clip in my timeline the video in my composer window disappears & I cannot see the clip /video when I launch the Boris interface. 

 

For example, I wish to create a title for my video  i launch the effects pallete & drag the boris rt effect directly to a clip in my timeline & my video disappears from the composer window & will not return until I undo add effect. 

I have seen this technique used in plenty of tutorial videos but I cannot get it to work for me.  I am sure it is merely a setting I am overlooking.   

What gives? This is driving me mad. 

Thanks in advance for any assist. 

That's bizaar, never seen that...doesn't sound like a wrong setting (unless a user setting is corrupt or something). What happens if you drag the effect to a blank space of filler in the timeline (not over a shot). What happens if you highlight the clip and doubleclick on the effect in the fx pallet?

Are you sure you dragged the RT Tile effect and not the the RT Title matte effect?  Here the RT Title Matte effect does exactly what you describe and the RT title effect works as expected. 
FWIW I prefer to add the Boris Red effect and then Title tab in that.
