Because of it's nature (8 bits) the alpha channel is not antialiased. The particles of the comet trail a probably too small to look good without aliasing. One possible solution would be to not render a separate alpha chan. but instead to make the comet trail a single color ( self illuminated ?) color and key your glow off of that color. If I have time tonight ( I'm bust learning Premiere) I'll try it that way and let you know what other ideas I can come up with that might help. Also , if you get it to work, let me know. Bye bye -=DC=-
