ActionVFX Action Pack

I just purchased the Vegas Pro 18 Suite update, and I can't find a way to activate ActionVFX Action Pack, I have downloaded the Pdf and the 2 .zip files but I don't see how to link them to Vegas, unless it is by adding the .mov files that contain the zip files, but most of them don't have a transparent background so my videos can't be seen. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong or not seeing, to be able to use them correctly?

And as for the Particle Illusion, does it integrate into Vegas or does it work as an external program? I don't see (or don't know) the effects in the Video Effects generator

Thanks for your help

After dropping the MOV file to the timeline in Vegas, did you go into the properties of that event and make sure that the alpha channel is turned on?

Testing all the effects that come with ActionVFX, the 2 Lingering Fog, the 2 Gas explosion and the Dust Front and the Dust at Camera, are the ones that seem to not have the alpha channel, if I apply the different options in the alpha channel of the properties of the clip in Vegas also does not solve the problem

(sorry I use the google traslater)

O.P. asked: "as for the Particle Illusion, does it integrate into Vegas or does it work as an external program?". - I am still learning and downloading BorisFX, but have come to realize Vegas Pro 18 Studio comes with BOTH a stand alone BorisFX "particle illusion", and also a plug-in BorisFX Continuum "particles unit". In your first email from Magix that contains your Vegas Pro serial number, you'll find five sections of items from BorisFX. One is a stand-alone "particle illusion" (gets a desktop icon, but not automatically), one is a Sapphire "render unit", and three are Continuum plug-in "units". I don't yet know how any of them work.

I assume you are familiar with the following documents:
