The web site says it’s included in the demo version of Mercalli, but also notes this demo version puts a red cross on output – does anyone know whether the red cross appears in the Video Shaker output?

Adam is correct. The two packages have no interface as such, but PI output is completely compatible with Vegas (or any other NLE). The bit about alpha channels only applies if you want to add the PI output on top of another video stream e.g. add an explosion to a video clip. The only ‘gotcha’ I’ve found is that only some codecs allow alpha channel info – if you pick a codec that doesn’t, PI will grey out the alpha channel tick box.
