I am having a problem with the HILIGHT ipas, I currently have 3 items in the video post que (background tga, key frames, hilight). I have set the HILIGHT to alpha>0 with a hue of 40 and it still picks up the background image with a hue of 40. Is there a fix? I purchased my copy back in August so I think I have the latest release? Thanks Paul Boyd

1. Chose a background TGA without the hue in it 2. set up your hue more specific, like 45 -+5 in the variance slider 3. or render the scene without the TGA in it, then use VP again to combine the 2 Jack

This is not the way HILIGHT is supposed to work, if that is the case then what good is the alpha>0 button?? Thanks Paul Boyd

The alpha>0 option is still glowing the previous layer because its non-zero alpha pixels are accumulated into the next layer's alpha. If you want to inhibit this, download the NOALPH.ZIP file from DL1, which contains NOALPH.IXP. Put that right behind the layer that you want to hilight, and it'll inhibit the alpha from previous layers from being passed down the chain. – G
