Suggestion - selecting Alpha Color Option in video sampler

Marco

I´m using the video sampler for video logos, animated words letters etc. (i.e. names of the club or by myself). All clips are with a black background. In the sampler I set the Blend option to 'Lighten' and scaled it down to the bottom left hand corner. All looks great so far, but with a very bright video the sample clip is very lowered and it seems that the clip is in the background. If a tag in the video is showing, the logo clip looks like in the background of the video. The logo clip should be always visible in the front of the main screen. i.e. : Video loop : https://db.tt/R4sSPlL9 Video loop with a bright main video : https://db.tt/WewdNcyu settings of the sample clip : https://db.tt/S58spV5Y Is it possible to add an option to select the color in the clip that should be unvisible (like it is in the new Virtualdj v8 video sampler ;) It means, If I select the color black, all black will be invisible. (sorry for my badly english ;)

Why don't you export the videos to a format the supports an Alpha channel? I'm hoping to add some further colour/luma keying options, but for now, the best way to do this is to use an Alpha channel in the video.

I export all sample player clips to your recommended Hap format. A lot of them are old clips in mp4. There is no way to add an Alpha channel. Or miss I something ? :)

Ok - it would be difficult to add an Alpha channel to a clip that doesn't already have one. The Hap codec is comprised of 3 different formats - one of these is named Hap Alpha, and supports Alpha channels.
