Alpha problems

PostMon Jan 04, 2021 4:54 pm

Hi all!

So I am trying to export XML from resolve to premiere pro but I am running into a problem with the alpha.

Basically I have some clips that overlay each other and then swipe in, however when I render it, black appears where there should just be the clip the layer below.

The way I understand to get around this is to export with alpha.

But the problem I am having is knowing which format I need to export it with? I have been usually exporting it with DNxHR HQX 10-bit but that won't let you export alpha, and the 12 bit version doesn't seem to play properly in premiere...

Anyone know which is the best format I should use?

Did you try 444 10 bit? Works fine in Resolve.

What's the problem you see with HQX 12 bit in Premiere? I can load such files in AE just fine.

The Clips are turning out like this for some reason?

Looks like wrong data handling in encoding to me, this kind of images are result of wrong offsets or swapping planar and interleaved channels.

My GPU is a GTX 970, what do you reckon the solution is?
