Alpha channel problem with PSD file Boris FX/Vegas 8

[Mukesh Shah]

Hi Bob,

Alpha is not passed to Boris UI when applied as a Filter. You will need to bring the alpha file straight into FX UI. So,

1) apply FX as a Filter to a video clip & then launch Boris FX UI & layer on V2 the alpha file by bringing it straight in Boris FX UI etc

or

2) apply Boris FX as a Filter in Vegas to an Empty Event on V2 & then launch Boris FX UI & bring in the file with alpha in FX UI etc

or

3) apply Boris FX FX as a Generator (instead of applying it as a Filter to an Empty Event on V2) on V2 in Vegas & then launch
Boris FX UI & bring in the alpha file straight in there etc

note: this is a Static Generator with 1 frame duration so you won’t be able to animate. If you want to animate then you need to follow steps in 1 or 2.

Hope this helps.

Vegas will not pass us alpha when applied as a Filter. You will need to bring the alpha file straight into FX UI. So,

2) apply FX as a Filter in Vegas to an Empty Event on V2 and then launch us and bring in the file with alpha in FX UI etc

Thank you. I kind of figured that maybe that was the case.
Thanks.
