I am using a Radial Filter mask, inverted, and following a particular point in my video, basically trying to add skintone to a totally blown-out overexposure video to make it appear as if the person singing is not deceased. Ghastly white face! So, I create a radial filter in CD5, invert it, and begin to follow the action so I can re-adjust the position of the filter. CD5 allows me several moves, but after that it will not budge the filter placement. Is there a limit to the moves I can make? HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

I think I answered my own question. Within PowerDirector the program limits the moves, but if the file is imported to ColorDirector on it's own you can move it as many times as you like. It is frustrating to me that the program has 2 levels of functionality depending on how you access it. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Hello Barry,

What you're reporting doesn't seem right to me (just as it doesn't to you).

Here, using the Radial Filter, I've found no limitation to the number of position keyframes or position resets that can be made. For me, it functions the same whether opened as a standalone or via PowerDirector.
