Hi all, here is Marco, this is my first post.. glad to be here. i'm trying to use the [alpha] object to mix different videos using OpenGL. I followed tutorials, checked the forum and the list but i still have this problem: I can change the transparency of a geo without texture, and everything works also when i load images. But when i add [pix_film] or [pix_movie] and i load a video the geo itself disappears - if alpha is on - and appears again (displaying correctly the video) when alpha is off.
this seems to be a problem with the video having an alpha-channel set to 0 - thus making the video totally transparent. the problem might be not the actual video-data but the video-importer. which platform are you on?
I also tried to change [pix_texture] with [pix_texture2] and [rectangle] with other geos, but nothing...
this is expected, as [pix_texture2] is (nowadays) really just an alias for [pix_texture] and all Geos should behave consistently.
