Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Alpha Channel question

  • Alpha Channel question

    Posted by Stephen Mann on July 7, 2009 at 5:03 am

    I need an uncompressed AVI (I know, an oxymoron) or MOV with alpha to re-encode as Flash with Alpha. My source clip is a greenscreen talking head. I make sure that my source media on the timeline has the alpha premultiplied selected. After I encode the AVI or MOV file, I can drag the output file to a Vegas timeline and I get the checkerboard background. Is this a confirmation that I have a media file with alpha?

    Thanks

    Yeah, Once you see that checkered board background of
    any clip you have on the timeline…thats a comfirmation
    that it has an alpha-channel embedded.
