HELP! I'm having alpha anxiety, I have used 3DS for some time now (R1, R2, and R3) and have always output to BetaCAM SP. We have always just keyed the signal over other video by doing a simple chroma-key. I have never taken the time to figure out if I can take the image directly out of my Matrox (ILLum-Pro) frame buffer and us the alpha channel to key with. Is this possible, the manual doesn't go in to the video side very much. Thanks in advance! Jimbo
