alpha movie mask

[gorka68]

hi,

i am very new to resolume and playin around with the demo.

is it somehow possible to use a black/white video clip as a layer mask or alpha for another layer?

check out my illustration, i'd like to be able to change layer1 and layer2 on the fly with the mask-movie always applied. is that possible?

thanks for the info

I would love this. I used to be able to do it with some other software, and have always missed this capability in Resolume.

I managed to do it with resolume 2, a few years ago, using luma key and darken...here, due to the layer paradigm I cant find the way....

Ideas anyone?
I have a gig next tuesday, and I am thinking of buying resolume, it´s great, but I do NEED this...

Thanks!!!

It is indeed not possible to use a movie as a mask In Resolume 3.1. Only still images can be applied as a mask.

Hello Bart,

Thanks for your answer. Could I do that with an image mask? Meaning a b&w mask, or a mask with alpha transparency, shooting a clip on the white zone (or transparent) and another on the black one?
That would do for me right now...

Thanks!

Yes you can apply a blck and white image as a mask to a clip, layer and the entire composition.
