I’ve been playing with the sequence editor for a project that needs both yafray and blender internal rendered stuff, and I have been trying to get a few more details on how to combine those. I used multiply effect to combine those, and pressing CKEY for changing effects I can choose swith A <-> B, and switch B <-> C.
What does that mean? I played with it but couldn’t see a difference.
Also, I have a logo mesh rendered with yafray and particles with internal, and combining those in the sequence editor, the particles don’t show up in front of the logo. How can I make it show up?
Switch A<->B and B<->C change the order in with the strips are processed by the effect. However, in the case of a multiply which is order independant (AFAIK), this is useless.
In your case, I think you’d be much better off rendering with an alpha layer and using an Alpha Over effect.
Activate RGBA, choose one of the two alpah enabled background mode (Premul or Key, I suggest Key) and choose an alpha enabled file format (PNG or Targa, I suggest PNG).
Then, it will render your animation as a numbered sequence of images which you can load in the sequencer by selecting all of them at once using the normal Add Image function.
Thank you Martin, works like a charm.
I had tried that before using Key, but in the render window it looked like crap, so I didn’t use it in the sequence editor. Looks fine though!
