None
Straight Unmatted

But… I’ve tried all of this and the PI event still remains with a black background.

Roger, have you got the Free Utility MediaInfo? If you please open your pI render onto it.

Roger, I’ve just again rendered, from the FREE Particle Illusion using my Render Settings and got these Horizontal Leaves:

Thanks Graham

Roger,
I am heading towards 76 and it doesn’t get any easier….. I, too, am using Win10/VegasPro17(lastest build)/and the free stand-alone of pI, and I have the same problem as you seem to be having. I have closely followed this thread and have tried the things that were suggested but cannot get a particle with an alpha background. I have tried .mov and .mp4 as rendered formats and no matter what choice I select for the ‘Media Properties’ under ‘Alpha’, I still get a black background. What I have done, however, is add Chroma Key Fx and adjust the thresholds. It works – kinda. But have no worries that you are alone in this dilemma, there are at least two of us!

Roger and Bob, this is good news. This might show some convergence. Now I feel alone ?

No pressure then?

All I can keep saying is that it works for me. What I still want both of you:

A] MediInfo of the rendered Pi file

B] A Screen grab of the pI render Template.

Over to you guys.
