Keys: YOST GROUP PD IPAS IXP STRIPS ALPHA CHANNEL VIDEO POST This little freebie Yost Group IXP solves the problem with not being able to use the Alpha>0 option in various other IXP's when compositing multiple-layer effects because the multiple layer's alpha channels are combining. NOALPH.IXP can strip out the alpha channel at any point in a Video Post sequence, overcoming that limitation and providing a clean slate for the next layer's compositing effect.
