  • How To Render Transparency?

    Posted by Joao Souza on March 19, 2013 at 8:21 pm

    Let’s say you have a chroma key video, you used chomakeyer and want to render it.
    I tried “quicktime(png)” but still when I import there’s a black background.
    I went to that video properties-alpha channel and clicked unmatted, black background disappeared but still I don’t know how to render without a black background.

    I addressed this in an earlier post…
    Again, yes you choose Quicktime PNG to render out,
    but set the Compressed depth to 32bpp color and
    Quality to 100%

    I’m lost.
    Are you telling me to do what I did?
    Like I said, I did it but still there was a black background.

    The transparency is there Joao,
    You change its Alpha Channel in properties to Straight
    or even Premultiplied, and you are done. I am at a loss then
    as to what else you could be having an issue with.

    Ok, so I did the right thing, I HAVE always to change alpha channel.
    I thought when rendering a transparency, when I import it, it should have a trasparent background already without having to change its alpha channel.
    Thanks Steve Austin …..oops Rhoden 😉

    Yes, You have to always change the Alpha setting,
    Vegas do things a little differently.
