Hi playsound -

Could please upload the particle effects to DZ and post the links?

Here - those "bubbles" (?) are showing up as squares.

Cheers - Tony

Hi playsound -

I can confirm exactly the same thing here.

1. "Bubles2" behaves differently in PDR 12 & 13, just as you showed in your video.
- I suspect some parameter has been changed in the PDR 13 installation, but with so many components it's difficult to track down.

2. That Movie title is definitely brighter in PDR13
- can't explain why, but you'd think the same thing might apply to other particles

I noticed a difference in behavior for all particle effects, however for some it was best to show others how this got worse in my view.

I tried to modify it but was unsuccessful.

The case of the fade + particle, only happens with transition FADE, and interlaced video.

Now, apply FADE at any track without darkening the video track above, as it does here with PD12. AMD-FX 8350 / 8GB DDR3
