Gpu fx

[Khoi Pham]

Can you guys get the "transparent" background to work with any GPU FX?, mine is black, if I understand it, transparent means see through so if I have a graphic on a layer beneath it should see it correct?

[GrassValley_BH]

Yes, but also keep in mind that you must be using a single-track transition. Meaning a transition between two clips, not a transition in the Keyer line.

[Khoi Pham]

Yes I'm using single track transition on V2 and on V1 I put a .bmp and don't see a thing, could it be my graphic card? I have the Quadro FX1500, everything is realtime except for this.

What is the resolution of the BMP you're using? Try resizing the BMP to the project resolution.

We recently found a limitation on transparency when the source clip doesn't match the project resolution.

EDIT: But now it seems that me "playing" with things has suddenly made the transparency work, even in different project settings?

Maybe try toggling off Transparency click OK, then go back in and toggle it back on.

[Khoi Pham]

The bmp. is the same resolution of the project, I made a single frame from the timeline, and yes I try all that tick it on, ok open again click it on and to one of the other like video a or b and matte and those works fine, I just can't use the transparency.

Don't use BMP, use 32bit TGA.

[Belphegor]

Yes, but also keep in mind that you must be using a single-track transition. Meaning a transition between two clips, not a transition in the Keyer line.

This is a big limitation.

Do yoy agree ?

I remind to everyone that Grass Valleys pumps Edius 5 as a major release.

[Khoi Pham]

Don't use BMP, use 32bit TGA.

Still don't see anything but black, they should have an option to load in a graphic from the interface like the old Explode FX instead of a transparent setting, then you have to go to the timeline and put a graphic on a layer below, and for me I still don't see anything, anybody got this to work beside StormDave and BH?

don't feel bad, you are not alone, all I see is black

[GrassValley_BH]

I can't really explain it but I was playing with it the other day and initially I saw black, then hit OK, came back in, played with a few things, and suddenly I could see through?

I think there might be a bug where you need to select Transparent, accept the properties, then return. There may also be an issue where if the dimensions of the clip don't match the dimensions of the project that the transparency may not work properly - but this particular instance was with the Layout tool.
