Thanks again. The RED update fixed all of the issues that I’ve found so far with Boris RED. I’ve got all of the RED plugins in the right place and the issue I had with transparent backgrounds is fixed. All is good for now.

Sincerely,

WOW. Thanks. I don’t have the BorisRED4 VVMG.dll (media generator module) in the Vegas 7 video plugins folder. I am using Boris RED 4.0.3.

I might try to reinstall RED, and see if that works. That could be why I still can’t edit the Vegas transitions inside RED.

A shortcut to open the video preview window is ALT+4. That is, the ALT key and number 4 key down at the same time. Also, the video preview can be opened and closed in the drop down menu under “View.” It’s labelled “video preview.”

Hope this helps.

Thanks… Yes, that worked for me. I copied the two Boris .dll files from the video plugin folder in Vegas 7.0 to the Vegas 8.0 video plugin folder and the Boris plugin is now appearing in my lists. Great.

I’ve got another issue now.

When I drop the Boris transition plugin onto a media transition within Vegas 8, and then I launch Boris RED where I actually create the transition effect, my media is not appearing in the RED composition window. RED lauches okay, but the media that I’m working on in Vegas is not coming over into RED. I just get a blank project in RED.

I think I’ve tried all of the different formats. I’ve saved as .mov file with millions+, and I still get a black background. I’ve tried no compression also. I’ve also seen video tuts that suggest “JEPG 2000” and “animation” compression settings to get transparent backgrounds, but that didn’t work for me.

For now I’m putting the background I want while I’m in RED, however, that’s not at all what I want to do. I realy want to have the background added while in the NLE (I use Vegas), that way, I can work with it should the need arise.
