Posts: 34 		Tried using png and tga files from photoshop, putting them into virtual dub using these settings



save as .avi, pull it into mz on a backdrop, but what I get is upside down and not transparent. I have the setting in config file set to false.


Directions were for Sketch up model, but I was hoping I could put it on a backdrop.

Check if m_bStripVideoAlpha=False in both DefaultGame.ini and MuvizuGame.ini and try again. If it won't work it will be for sure a video issue.

Hi Doby,

Can you try to download and open this island from Rod, it uses transparent video on the waves. You can then determine if it's muvizu or your video not working. The waves should not be black in this set.

Smart idea! But, I don't have the required key frame pack yet to open it

EDIT: FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK! It was compression of the png file. Thank you for helping me! Hurray!

Posts: 1738 		this exchange makes me wonder if we should have some test files stored somewhere that people can DL quickly to test their settings as part of a process of elimination. ? What would such an archive need?

1) a video with transparency that is known to work in Muvizu

2) what else?
