Adding a tiff graphic with a transparent BG
Posted by Rob Lindsay on April 29, 2015 at 7:06 pmThe background turns black on the timeline. I want the BG to be transparent as it is in Photoshop, so the letters float over the scene in the lower track.
Is there a fix for this?
Many thanks!

TIFF eh? Didn’t know.

April 30, 2015 at 6:22 amRuss, I researched the PS options. It’s a bit fraught. I’d suggest, if Rob is still reading this, would be to go back and either try and save as PNG with ALPHA in place, OR if layered, try a straight layered Photoshop PS file. This can be imported as a layered option in separate Vegas Tracks!

Would that be resolution “info” or the layers “info”? If it was layers then the PS layered ting would be worth exploring.
Interesting,
