ok I have another bit of information that may help someone correctly diagnoze the problem?… grahics card?….

When creating a new sequence and then dragging a clip onto it – after pressing YES to match the sequence with the footage – it seems to work for about 20 secs with me playing around with clips… the all of a sudden ALL the clips will start behaving like this eg the trippy green and pink way!

MOAN: The deadline is getting nearer and I havent even started yet!!!!!!! arrrrrrrrgh!!!!! It’s been about a week getting to this stage working with the RED ONE!….

Hi,

I have a very basic problem…. I just cant seem to do it! why is it so hard!

In short:
I click the alpha channel and when I open it in photoshop I see the alpha channel in the ‘channels’ tab… how ever, how does this help me move the logo completely seperated from the plain blackbackground when in the ‘layers’ tab?

Is this a photoshop question!? 😉

many thanks

I am deeply humbled.

Thankyou so much for this reply. It has instantly sorted it out.

I can not tell you the grief I have had with this XDCAM footage.

BUT THE RESULTS ARE GREAT!
