I'm using PD9 and have a very simple question. After browsing the many Titles, Frames, Pips and so forth available at Director Zone, I downloaded a Title and a Frame. Both appeared in the Downloads on my hard drive. I clicked each one (separately) as directed and got the message each was now available for use by my software. When I clicked on Title Room, I found the recently downloaded Title with no trouble. Where the heck is the Frame? I have no clue where to look.

Richard -

You'll find the frames in PiP Objects - under the Frames or Downloaded... or ALL, of course.

Tony:

Thanks for the reply. Before posting my question, I did check every possible location for the downloaded frame, including in PiP Objects. It wasn't there. After getting your note, I checked again and the downloaded frame was still not there. Then I did some experimenting by downloading a random sample of new frames and I found the problem.

All frames with a 16:9 aspect ratio showed up in the PiP Objects area but all with a 4:3 ratio were nowhere to be found. My project is 16:9 but the original frame I downloaded and could not find was 4:3. Apparently the only downloaded frames that show up in PiP Objects are those that match the ratio of your current project. That's why I couldn't find the original download.

A lesson learned. Thanks again.

So does that mean that if you try a project set to 4:3 ratio those other frames will become visible or did they just not get stored? Regards,

The 4:3 frames did get stored. When I switched the aspect ratio of my project to 4:3, the 4:3 frames showed up and the 16:9 frames disappeared from the PiP Objects room.
