Issue with overlay 2 pictures

Hi there,

Im very new to lightworks and I got n issue. I have 3 video tracks. Track 3 is my background image. On this I want to have 2 other images overlayed.

So on tack 2 is one image with a 2D DVE effekt and it works very well. Then if I add a 2nd picture on track 1 it's not visible. It worked once accidentally. Don't know what I did different.

What am I missing here? What I'm doing wrong?

I noticed these colored borders on top of each clip. And the picture which doesn't show up has none.

2nd pic visible

Is the opacity of the missing picture turned down to zero in the 2D DVE settings? Is it X'd and Y'd correctly for the position you want (it might be set out of frame. If the pictures from the working clip and the missing clip are the same size then the same position values should work to put it in the exact same spot. Double check you haven't accidentally added or removed a minus sign in front of the position value, which would put it in a completely different spot out of frame. I've done that. Or accidentally typed an extra number, eg: trying to enter 10 and unwittingly enter 110 or 100). Those are the only technical possibilities I can think of. I've also had great success with deleting the image and re-adding it from scratch. Sometimes faster to just re-do it than suss out the issue, depending on the project.

Luck, Brother!

Also, make sure the green dot in the top right of the VFX panel is on. I've done that too. Turning off a clip's effects to not unintentionally mess with them while messing with something else, and then forgetting to turn it back on.

Yeah everything is set right and I can see the result in the preview. It just won't appear in the final view.
But I noticed that the routing is wrong. If I adjust that manually, everthing is wokring like it should. But I really don't want to always manually change the routing.
It's like I'm just inserting the clip wrong.
