Re: [Avid-L2] Is DNxHR only Progressive?

First, I agree (heartily) that there should be an Invert Alpha ability in Source Settings.

With that said, another way to deal with improperly imported Alpha is to cut it into the sequence and drop a 3D Warp on it — IIRC, there's an Invert Key checkbox in there — I think it's in the Foreground parameter group (I'm not at my system at the moment).  However, my inclination would be to re-import if this happened. In general, clips with alpha tend to be short(er) and come in relatively quickly.

Have a great weekend all you Avid-Lers!

Yes, it is, but looking back to FCP7 again, it was possible to swap the alpha on a clip that is already in the system. In Media Composer, if you get it wrong (either with the legacy 'Import' command or when linking, you must delete the clip (and media if imported) and do it again. Since you can swap/reverse it in the Effect Editor after adding such a clip to a sequence, it would be nice to be able to do this to multiple clips in a bin ... Source Settings would be the logical way to do this.

Swap Alpha is there (since ages) in the Import settings.

This looks like a good addition to Avid's Source Settings panel. And while they are at it (if they ever do), how about a swap alpha channel button if needed?

All this said, I have turned to Resolve Studio for material such as this for the following reasons.

1. I can go into clip attributes and change the field order on a media file if needed.
