What OS and GEM version?<br><br>On OSX the pix_film/movie object defaults to YUV. Send a 'colorspace RGBA' message to the object before loading the clip if you need the alpha from the clip. pix_image uses RGBA by default. If you have problems with PNG the try uncompressed or TIFF.
<br><br>Also, put the alpha object after the pix_objects.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/16/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Item State</b> <<a href="mailto:itemstatechanged@yahoo.de">itemstatechanged@yahoo.de

<br>then i need to fade in and out a rendered text image.<br>i tried using pix_image -> pix_texture and [alpha 1].<br>the images are .png with transparent portions. i once<br>got it to display correctly, but now if i open the

<br>"action" string). is there an alpha-channel multiplier<br>for pix_image? thanks for hints!<br><br>is it possible to stretch the video so that the<br>rectangle stays the same, but only the top part of the<br>
video is shown (vertically zoomed without<br>interpolation, so that you can see the pixels)?<br><br>ciao, -sciss-<br><br><br><br>Send instant messages to your online friends <a href="http://au.messenger.yahoo.com">http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
