I have composited a few digital juice clips to make a lower third. I can drop a video clip on the timeline below these clips and it makes a perfect overlay. However when I trie to render out the lower third without a background and then overlay in another project the lower third gets a faint black outline or shadow.
I rendered to an uncompressed Quicktime file.
Is there a trick to rendering with alpha channels that I don't know about? Why would I be getting this dark area around my new rendered overlay when used in new projects?
Comparison
The above image is a partial screen grab from Vegas of both overlays. The top half is the original overlay composite. The bottom half is the rendered overlay demonstrated the newly aquired shadow or whatever.
Aside from the obvious shadow below the overlay, you can also see on the counter top, right side, above the overlay, the top example shows a light green highlight surrounding the red peppers and the lower example shows a darkened area surrounding those peppers.
So, how do I render the lower third so that it doesn't gain a shadow or whatever is happening? Any ideas?
