Posts: 57 		Hi,

I'm trying to create an inset window with one character - (like a video screen of them chatting)

Is it possible to take the output from a camera and project it onto a backdrop?

Or maybe I'm using the wrong tools.

Worst case, I could do it in the post-production video editor, but it would be simpler to handle inside of Muvizu.

Help!
(thank you)

That happened to me with earlier versions. The cameras are still selectable, but you probably don't see the thumbnail. Try clicking or hovering next to the "None" icon.

In the new version you can get 6 cameras. I just found that out working on a new video.
