Hi Gary, Here's a Video Post question. A lot of people have been asking me why Mirage doesn't support the Alpha Channel. My response has been that Mirage DOES support Alpha. Then someone lead me through this little exercise. Go into Video Post, add two entries. One Bitmap with a 32 bit image. Then one process entry using Mirage. Render. The 32 bit entry after processed through Mirage now has no Alpha data! I know Mirage supports Alpha, so I dig a little deeper. In Video Post create one queue entry, make it a 32 bit bitmap image. Now render this alone in Video Post and, when it's done, no Alpha data. Video Post is stripping the Alpha info. What gives? Will this be addressed? David – Digimation
