Hi everyone,

I assembled several sunflowers cut out in photoshop and I fly them all together overtop of the edit point of two clips.  When they reach full screen I'm able to hide the edit underneath, thus making the sunflowers a cool transition effect. It's a hassle to drag and render six layers of sunflowers for each transition.  I'd like to do a mixdown but that will not work as it would mix the video layers underneath the transition as well.  Can I somehow make an alpha channel?

Thanks

Dave

Did you try collapsing (not mixdown) the sunflower layers into one?

Thanks brick, that's a good plan.  I also noticed that if I hit control/alt/C and copy all the layers, it acts as if an alpha channel is underneath and i can place it over any video.

Thanks for your help.

I would use after effects to make the transition and then import it with alpha into MC. 

Me too, Kenton!
