Disable all alphachannels inside a layer?

[cosmowe]

Hey all Builder Bob's....

Scenario:
Content on layer 1 and 2
Crossfader assigned 1A 2B

Layer 2 has 50% content with alphachannel......sometimes I would like to not use the alphachannels....So I'm searching for a solution to disable alpha for the whole layer.
The problem seems so basic to me...I'm sure I'm blind and miss something

A VideoWall effect with Black BG enabled and Screen set to 1, and Zoom to 1 will remove the alpha channel, keeping the original texture.

Videowall seems to be a weapon in general Thanks again Zoltan!

You're welcome.

Super useful to know!

The Solid Color effect has a Show Image toggle, mostly for this purpose.

Another scenario when my suggestion of a simple multiply filter can be handy.

Thanks joris...and I guess this way is much more resource efficient?

From the top of my head, I'm not sure what Videowall actually does at those settings. The Solid Color approach is probably on par with Flip with Black BG.

This is exactly what Solid Color with Show Image does.
