The gray must get out, i dont want the border lines to be seen! please help...

Thanks in advance!

As far as I know you have to have some sort of background colour. It is a video editing program not a photo/graphics program. You can have text with a transparent background but this will render as black if you don't put another background under it.

Hope this answers your question.

Ok, so i guess i have to gonna brush it in flash to get rid of the borders. and get the perfect blending option together :(

As with anything in a Pro Package like Vegas, you get to the option to add the type rendering you need. Apart from the Uncompressed option (saving the Alpha Channel) that already comes with Vegas, you can also use MOV and save the Alpha too. Personally I use the Lagarith CODEC and save the Alpha.

Vegas is a powerful tool - getting/gaining the knowledge on how to add what you want is your next step.

Can you give a tutorial on it ? And can i get this transparent result...
