Alpha Channel won't work

Hi all. I'm new here, while I've been using SVMS for a few years now...

I've found some free (Creative Commons) intro from Laurent Caccia, which are awesome, and I'd love to use.

I've encountered, though, two problems:
1. these intros are for Sony Vegas Pro
I've searched extensively the web, there's no way to convert or use them in SVMS... isn't it strange? There should be at least a "save as SVMS" in vegas pro...

So, I thought I could reassemble the intro by myself, but here came the problem

2. Alpha Channel won't work when I try to add it to the topmost video track.
I've tried the basic tutorial, here on Sony web site, when I use the static Media Generators it works, but it doesn't with the video...

What should I do? Where am I wrong? I feel a little bit frustrated...
Thanks!

Are they Vegas Pro PROJECTS? No, they are not downward compatible with Movie Studio.

In order for alpha to work from top to bottom, your source and render must be RGBA. Your compositing must be set to "Source Alpha." There are relatively few RGBA encoders available in Vegas.
