George asked me for help in E-mail and I got his problem licked in no time flat. BLAQ'S RECIPE FOR GENLOCKING IN IMAGINE ————————————— In Imagine's Preferences, set COL0 and GENC to the same value. This should be a color which will not appear in your scene; for example, set COL0 to F,0,0 and GENC to F0,00,00. Then click on "Genlock sky" in the Action editor's Globals actor bar, and/or "Genlock" in the Attributes requester of any object you want to be genlock-transparent. When you render the animation in a ILBM-12bit format _register_ (not HAM) mode, color 0 in the palette will be full red in my example, which is also the color of the genlocked sky; therefore, the sky will be transparent when genlocked over live video. Ta-daa! Another way to ensure your genlock color doesn't inadvertently appear in unwanted areas of your scene is to set COL0 and GENC to all zeroes, and to add a bit of ambient light in the Globals; even 1,1,1 would do the trick.
