Problems with .mov alpha channel solution found. Based on what you have told me, I went back to find the .mov were made in Motion and some in Final Cut Pro. I learned a little of Final Cut pro, but that only provd the .movs worked fine for them. But to be sure, I went to Digital Juice and had some lower thirds exported in .mov as well. They do the same thing. Lots of bleed and flare around the edges, or no alpha at all. I had to get creative and transcode the animations to make them work. After racking my brain and several hours searching, I came up with the solution from a article on Digital Juice’s legacy FAQ’s. One must go into the Vegas media bin and right click on the media. Select properties, then go down to the “Alpha Channel ” pull down. It must be changed to “straight” (unmatted). Now it works fine. Thank you for being there to help, I hope this may help someone as well.

Was able to resolve the lower thirds – don’t know why, it just works after reboot. Would like to know why .mp4 and .mov animated lower thirds will not appear correctly. I can get alpha channel working, but the colors are off or too transparent. Could this be a masking problem?

I agree- thank all of you for your insight. This is the kind of info you will usually not get from sales people- unless they have invested in you or your company… lol. Looking at the NAB 2014 next week for new product to see if there will be a better upgrade at similar price point vs. more reduction on the 5u due to it’s successors. Thanks again.
