Alpha channel in text not showing

Hi,

I have a video file which I imported into Blender & some text, which I rendered as a PNG with alpha channel. In an image editor, the alpha channel is present, but when I play the video there’s a grey background where the alpha channel should be.

Here’s the .blend file:

Desmond Blue Test 01.blend (457 KB)

TIA,

Claus

P.S: I tried ‘attach to .blend’ several times, but the video and the text are missing. :frowning: So, here’s at least the image:


I checked it in Gimp, but the alpha channel is there.

Set the image blend type to alpha over from the strip properties and it should show up

The .blend file wasn’t set to use compression.

Thanks, it worked.
