General Technical Support FAQs

1. Why is an X appearing over the DissolveMaster transition? An X means you have the DEMO version installed. The demo overlays an X on the plugin’s output. Upon purchasing, the X will disappear. If you have installed/activated the purchased version and you are still seeing an X, it could be the project file cache in Premiere or Vegas. One easy way to manually clear that cache in either program by doing a "Save As..." on your project file. Or you can render final output which should not show the X. If the problem still persists, next try applying DissolveMaster in a fresh project.

2. I installed DissolveMaster but it is not appearing in my video editing program... what's wrong?
a. Please first check that you are looking in the right place within your editing software for DissolveMaster. (To see where, click the Learning More link below for your DissolveMaster version.) If you ARE looking in the correct place but still do not see DissolveMaster, go to the next step below.
b. Re-start your video editing program, since new plugins are loaded then. If you still do not see DissolveMaster, go to the next step below.
c. Did you recently download the DissolveMaster installer from us instead of using an old download from a purchase made in prior months or years? To receive a fresh re-download, use our Re-Download a Purchase link above. Run the installer and look in its window. Does it mention your video editing program? If not, you inadvertently got the wrong installer. If after running our latest installer, completing the installation and re-starting your computer you still do not see DissolveMaster , please contact us and mention the steps here you have checked.

3. I see only one DissolveMaster transition in my video editing program. Where are the others?
Some of our plugins come with many hundreds of pre-made effects/transitions and it is not possible to present all as separate items in your video editing software. Pre-made effects/transitions are available through the plugin interface in a large animated Effects Browser window to easily compare/choose presets and effect variations. (To see how to apply DissolveMaster and open Effects Browser window, click the Learning More link below for your DissolveMaster version.)

4. Which version(s) of Pixelan plugins I have installed?
