Hello all,

I need your help please. I’ve been following the “Fading Text” tutorial and it’s been working fine until now. When I hit ctrl + Enter to see the movie , it no longer works. It pops up the word but there is not alpha effect. However, when i hit Shift +Enter to see what’s wrong and I can see the alpha effect. What is wrong that when testing the movie the alpha doesn’t work anymore. It’s worked before though.

Thank you much,  
Richard
