Hi, I'm playing with video post to learn how to use it. I've set up a box in the 3D editor and applied the Birdshow flick to it as a material. I've also set up one of the beach targas as a background in the renderer. Using video post I'd like to make the black areas in the flic transpatent so the beach background will show through, removing the flick's frame outline. So far I haven't gotten it to work, the black frame is still there. Can someone step me through the process to get the correct result? Thanks in advance! -Andy

Andy, Video post is covered in Tutorial #22 very well. I created a test Video Post queue as such: Queue Alpha ———————————————— e:\3ds3\images\cloud.gif none i:\samples\flcs\ipasfwrk.flc alpha. ———————————————— Render frame 75. You should see the effect of compositing. Please *do* the tutorial and read chapter 8-133 to 8-151. jonas[adesk]
