The problem is that Vegas only supplies single images to plugins instead of entire clips. This is true for all plugins. The work-around is to:

1. Render from Vegas the small clip that you want to pass to FX.

2. Add the FX plugin to the clip (if you have not already done so).

3. Enter Boris FX and look for the video that came from Vegas (it will be a reference to media “V1”).

4. Replace the reference to “V1” with the name of the clip that you rendered in step 1.

5. Proceed as usual. The results from FX will be automatically returned to Vegas. That is, no additional rendering “tricks” are needed.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi peter,

You mentioned that we can download and install BCC 5 into Red 4 to get some of the “missing” filters. Is this something that we have to pay extra for, or is it free because we already purchased and registered Red 4?

Thanks,
Peter H.

I too am keen about getting your effect. My email is:

Thank you,

Thanks for the rapid reply. I understand now why I have been getting a blank alpha channel. I will continue to use the Remove Black BG option as you suggest.

Alan,

Could you or others please elaborate some more on this issue. Everytime I have used the “non-intense alpha” option in PI3, I see absolutely nothing in the PNG files that are generated. I don’t recall at this moment whether the PNG files are completely black or transparent, but this option has never worked for me regardless of which effect I use (and I have tried this with dozens).

Thanks,
Peter
