Hello all... Not sure how to explain this correctly.
We get our credits roll as a video clip (IT HAS NO KEY SIGNAL EMBEDDED); it's just white text over black; which I import into XPression. Our TD then takes XP (playing credits clip) and creates a linear key (in the switcher) so that he can key credits over camera.
I was thinking why can't XPression do this. I made a new material with the video clip referenced. Changed the Blending Mode for Layer1 (in the material) to "Additive (Linear Dodge). This did make my white text keyable on my canvas; but when I put that scene to output the white text was not keyable. It was only keyable on my canvas.
I'm not sure 100% why this wouldn't work. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you.
