Hey Garry... You got me thinking and realized that these MOV trans alpha clips also work slick in Vegas Pro using a mix of transitions, FX, and masking. I like that most of transitions and FX's only apply to the object so I could apply a mix of them to make objects appear from a center point or area, distort, change colors, shake, etc.

here is another video VSDC editor used

That is a fantastic example because it runs through so many different effects in a row so you can see them all in action. Great work!

Here is my latest test. I am absolutely LOVING Hitfil and post production effects. I never thought Id say that!

Ebra. I LOVE your hunter in the swamp. I need to work out how to get that nice inner glow in Hitfilm, that gives that nice coloured edge to characters and makes them look more three dimensional. Love it!

I cant stop playing with composite shots from CTA4.5 in Hitfilm! I have never been so excited about animating. And because Im new to Hitfilm and post production effects, EVERYTHING is exciting! I want to do a shot that includes rain, but dont know how? Easy. Watch some Youtube videos and keep mashing buttons! SO GOOD!

In this example, I did a side by side comparison of the original footage versus the final composite shot. The difference is phenomenal!

Hey folks, here is my Happyslug video again, with the transparent MOV loops imported into Adobe Premiere, only this time I treated my sketchy backgrounds with one of the Photoshop Neural Filters to add some extra detail to my backgrounds. it was all done pretty quickly but has a good look to it.

It looks cool!  Kinda get addicted to the Happyslug haha!

another test using  VSDC editor 

A great new feature - rendering with a transparent background opens up new use cases for CTA4. The created characters and effects are easily applied when editing video in an external editor (I have it Cyberlink Power Director 15). Here are just a few examples of use
