  RE: RGBA video overlay on existing multicam project
  Still no support for exporting to an RGBA video file??? Looks like everyone here tried that and nothing works (QT animation, uncompressed, etc.). A PNG sequence won't work for me -- that is what I'm starting with on the timeline. I want to export

  Hello, when you insert some intros, it uses alpha masks. As you can in the fx manager, there is an effect in place called "alpha", which can even be removed. Is it possible to create an alpha mask myself? Kind regardsMrFlow
