  Problem figuring out the right composite mode in Sony Vegas Pro 12

  Posted by Rahul Machal on March 13, 2014 at 8:43 am

  hey,

  I am trying to composite a clip I created in After Effects and I want it to put on my video I edited in Vegas PRO 12. I can not figure out what composite mode i should use because I am not able to get the desired result. Please help me.

  

  

  

  The last image is what i get after adding ADD mode. But the logo becomes too bright and loses its opacity. Any suggestions?

  Going about it a little wrong, sir. For a lower third (or key, or chyron, depends on how old you are in the TV world, I guess), you won’t be using a composite mode. You’ll be telling Vegas you want to use the clip’s own transparency.

  Render the graphic with alpha channel in AE. That makes the background transparent.

  On the Vegas timeline, right-click on the clip, choose properties, and select the proper alpha channel option. I think in this case you’d be choosing Straight (Unmatted).
