Re: [Avid-L2] Wrong Format on alpha channel video?

Hi John,
Just thinking out loud here . . . Might be a corruption. Try cutting in again from the original source clip.
If that doesn't work, use the "divide and conquer method" to see if there's a mismatched clip or corruption upstream.
Although . . . with the new programming, can there be a mismatched clip anymore?
I'm betting on corruption. Anyone else have a thought for John?

Cheers,

B

> I've seen this before when stepping into a matte key or in this case a title key and pulling out the alpha channel and cutting it into the time line with the results being "wrong format." Usually putting a submaster effect over the clip and rendering fixes it. This time I can option c the alpha and see it in the source monitor fine. When I cut it into the time line I get wrong format and the submaster render doesn't work. I've found I can step in and mark the alpha channel track/clip and create a video mix down and that works. My question is why isn't the submaster render approach working. This is SNDX 4.0.5 Mac OS 10.5.6. Anybody got a reason for this less than typical behavior?
