“for your effect to work on text created in ps you need to manipulate the alpha layer which is probably locked, so avid won’t allow you to step in and add the effect, and presumably the effect becomes invisible when added to the fill because the aplha layer is still the same…
If practical import the text as a flat layer ignoring any alphas, luma key, then step in to add the boris effect. ”
first this part: “added to the fill because the aplha layer is still the same…”
hmm…ok, but really I only want the light within the fill. So if the alpha is the same…light goes on fill…then Alpha truncates the light outside the fill….at least that’s what my brain says.
now this part: “luma key, then step in to add the boris effect. ”
hmmm…ok…but luma keying really limits the image options….
perhaps there is a way to bring in the fill and matte seperately
apply the Boris Effect…
then nest and combine it with the split matte via a matte key?
