Hi, I am struggling with a DnxHD render and the alpha channel.
I have some AVCHD clips that I used the Boris BCC chromakeyer on. I get a great looking key. Now I want to save the clips without the background, so I can insert other backgrounds in the future.
I turn off the background layer, render to QT DNXHD, set alpha to compressed (I have also tried uncompressed), RGB levels (I have also tried 709), 32 bpp color depth.
When I drag the output file into Vegas, it shows the character perfectly in front of a black background. I click on Properties, set the alpha channel from none to premultiplied (also tried straight).
All I see is the character on the black background. When I select a compositing mode other than straight alpha, the compositing mode button displays an "X". I suspect this means there is no alpha channel. Mediainfo says nothing about an alpha channel either.
I can make it work with the QT PNG template.
Can someone critique my DNXHD settings please?
Thanks,
Fred
