Alpha channels are essential for compositing graphics and keys, but when the edges go wrong, they can quickly make a graphic feel ugly and unfinished. This tutorial helps you spot the problem and clean up the result inside Vegas Pro.
In this video, Grant Kay takes a closer look at the common alpha edge problem that can appear when working with transparent graphics in Vegas Pro.
You’ll learn how alpha channels affect transparency, why edge issues can appear when layering graphics over video, and how to improve the final composite with a one-click solution so your overlays look cleaner and correct.
