    What program do you use to fade between the Alpha Channel image of the Actor, and the background frame, I’m having a little trouble. My Alpha Channel frame is a PSD (have one as a .RAW too) since these are the only formats that Photoshop will willingly save it in. Let me know if you think i’m making the alpha channel frame wrong as well.

    Thanks,
    Andrew

    I have Vegas 4.0 and VideoMach, but neither will open a PSD or RAW image file.

    You should be able to export a TIFF with alpha out of Photoshop. It’s one of the few formats that seems to allow alphas from what I remember. If that doesn’t work though, you can grab XNView, an image viewer/converter that’s a free download, which you can use to convert

    Vegas can do the fading part just fine, though I think I used After Effects in my example.
