Hello, I searched a bit on the web and I found that it is possible to render in AVI uncompressed format and include the alpha trasparent channel.
I have tried it an imported the video back and effectively the video has transparent parts.
The option can be selected within Customize Template from the rendering panel.

That's great news, Roberto! Guess I stand corrected!

Hello Steve,

yes, it is.
Because I am trying some nice integration between VMS and a 3D Animation SW, which looks promising as far as VMS can save videos with the alpha channel, and this seems to be the case :-)

Vegas supports alpha rendering in any codec that supports it, and there are several.
DNxHD is one that supports both compressed and uncompressed alpha channel rendering.

hello -

i posted this question in the wrong forum - but received some very expert replies:
http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?MessageID=784546

How are the DNxHD codecs enabled as "Render As" templates in Movie Studio HD once they have been installed on the PC ?

i am a new user of SONY Vegas and i do not know how to add new codecs.
help is sincerely appreciated.

- i was just wondering if it might be possible for a Vegas Pro user to export a render template preset for compressed alpha channel video using the Vegas "Preset Manager" - or if that might be imported and used by users of 32-bit Vegas Movie Studio HD ?

The problem with uncompressed alpha-channel AVI seems to be that there are no container objects or media players that support it ?

Any help sincerely appreciated.
