Thanx, emmrecs! I've already read that thread, but first of all it's about MEP, while I have only VPX8. Secondly, even after reading that thread I didn't understand, if MEP can make RGBA transparent? Some guys say, that it's impossible, others claim, that it works with AVI. So, maybe someone can give me a simple straight answer?

Hi

. . . . it's about MEP, while I have only VPX8 . . .

It is the same principle whichever program you are using - MEP has some features which have not yet made into VPX - however Alpha video is not one of them.

. . . . . Some guys say, that it's impossible, others claim, that it works with AVI . . . .

It is possible - I think you may have missed the second part of my answer here.

Thanx, John! But now I have another stupid question - do you know any converter, that can convert rgba mov to avi? Since I'm doing all keying in DaVinci it doesn't have RGBA avi :(

Hi

I cannot recommend any - the software I use to create effects, will export AVI with Alpha.

However there are a several converters that will do the job - two free and most popular are FFMpeg and VirtualDub.

If you Google 'convert mov rgba to avi rgba' you will find many answers and specific instructions on what to do.

would it be possible to export your footage with alpha to a .tga format and then use that as a sequence in Pro X ?
