FFGL Trails no alpha?

[Rene]

Please, can somebody try and load a dxv2.0 encoded video (or any other video with alpha) and apply the trails effect to check if the alpha channel is preserved?

Hey Rene

We tested all the effects for alpha support. Did we miss one?

I just tested with a Flash file on XP SP3 and an ATI 3600, and it seems that alpha is in general preserved.

However a moving object leaves a black "trail" even if the original trails are faded out already. In this case I would expect not only a RGB fade out, but also an alpha fade out.

I will test this with different files over the weekend...

Ooewps ... I just tried and the alpha is f*cked up, darn! Daniel and Edwin are on holiday for a week so we'll fix this when they come back.

[Rene]

Okay, thanks Bart for checking!

Thanks to the Iceland volcano.. the trails plugin is fixed.
To install it drag the unzipped file to the resolume/plugins/vfx folder.
cheers!

Thank you, Daniel!
