Sony Vegas Pro 8 tranparency

My problem is about transparency and it is shown in this video

Seeing the movie you will understand.

Please see it, the video doesn't have any virus, spyware or adware...

And please answer me! Why that happens.

I agree with Ron. Not entirely clear about the problem that
you are relating...including the illegible resolution you have posted.
You need to just write and describe the problem, even if you can't fully describe it, we can still understand.
From what i gather the text that you added needs to be on top for the transparency to come through from what is on the timeline below it.

Sorry for the video I will try writing (my english is not so good).

I want to put a text above the clip but with transparency, so I want to see the text and the movie... well in the video I put the text how some tutorials said, in a line under the clip and not above the clip.

I think you can see in the movie the word "example" doesn't appear in the clip, but under the clip. I put the text separated for you to see that, when the bar (of the timeline) is going right above the clip and the text it appears part of the word in the black between the movie and the sony vegas pro program, and when there isn't no bar above the text event it doesn't appear nothing.

The text is supposed to be above the movie with transparency, but it appears behind the movie, so you can see part of the word on the edges...

Please if you don't understand I make a new movie with more resolution, just tell me!

No, because I put the text all over the movie, and there are other colors.

Hi Jo,

As Doug stated, place your text on top and change your color for the text. You have track 1 & 2 in white.

I always used google translator, because I need to translate portuguese to english, when I contact the support and there is only english english people supporting. Some time ago I used Babelfish.

Rule of thumb #1 - Unless you're doing text on a solid colored background, use the "Default Text" option.

To change your text event back to transparent, click the green "Generated Media" icon in the upper right corner of the text event.
This opens up the Text options box.
Click the "Properties" tab.
Go to the "Background Color" section, grab the "Alpha" slider and drag it down to the bottom (100% down to 0%).
You could also enter a value of 0 in the "A" box (to the right of the RGB value boxes)

Hi Jo

You know, I was going to translate to Portuguese as a first thought but then decided on Spannish.

Sorry.
Allen

Oi Jo

Você sabe, eu estava indo para a tradução para Português como um primeiro pensamento, mas depois decidiu, em Spannish.

Desculpe.

Hi all, im having a similar problem , hoping you can all help. I have made a video with lots or sporadic pieces of text imposed over a video clip. i have recently tried to speed up the text portion only, so rather that recut each individual generated media text piece (My video has around 900 pieces of these!) i chosed to render it to a new file and add a velocity envelope, which works fine, but when i place the faster rendered piece above the video clip it no longer is imposed over the video. im assuming after rendering the text it has lost its transparency. How do i rerender the text and still keep its background transparency.

Many thanks,

Mike
