Sony Vegas and Media Studio Yep, I know they're not related, but they both fall in the Premiere Alternative bracket in my humble opinion! Post here for Ulead Media Studio or Vegas video problems or pointers...

Default Dirt Hits

Hello I've got a little problem,
I downloaded a dirt hit from detonationfilms, with a black background.
I know how to put it on the tracks and I know what compositing mode I need to use.

But when I use "Screen" on the top track, I get this result. And the explosion is kind of transparant.

You see the small border?

How about Chroma-Keying the black background on the top track? That should get rid of the rest perfectly.

Yep, that certainly looks pretty good. More like a nuclear explosion though than a dirt hit!

Yes, of course there is another problem on my path to make a nice dirt hit. I downloaded a dirt hit from detonationfilms, with a white background. And if you chroma key this, it looks really cheap. but if I use multiply (mask) in compositing mode it look pretty nice, but when I want to move the dirt hit to another position I get this.



Could anyone help me?
