Did you save before viewing in preview?

I pasted your effect into a sequence, viewed it on the nutcracker tab.

I saved it and it played back on the preview just as it did on the nutcracker tab.

yes, remember never switch from nutcracker tab to PREview tab without pressing save.

save creates the xseq file that preview needs.

it's working now. I went in and removed my .xseq file and started a new sequence with the xml file and it worked fine in preview. I exported to vixen and all is good. thanks again gentlemen for all that you.
