ok…I’m back. So I created an alpha only channel, an rbg straight alpha channel and tried using a luma matte for the matte wipe..but the transition now has a light white edge to the right of the transition/image edge.

This seems like it should be simple…feel like I’m missing something. Anyone able to help???

I’ve been all over the fcp sites…but because I can’t see the end result, I can’t tell if it’s working until it comes back to me.

Got it! Thanks so much Walter!

Thanks Walter. That really helps!

So, for output, I would render once using alpha only (for alpha), and render once using rbg only (for the clip), then what settings do I use to render out the the clip matte?

Thank you!

Thanks David!

I ended up moving all the files to another drive, importing the ae file as a project, and then checking the assets one at a time. There was a ai file that was causing the problem. I re-saved the ai file with a different name and re-linked. Everything is working again.

You are right, there was a crash before all this happened.

Thank god not all of the files were corrupt!

I was using sorenson (just plain sorenson). Is there a better codec, or a shade of blue that works better than others?

Thanks!
