Transparancy issue with Picture in Picture Transition

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Hi there, very simple Question....

I have one timeline, in that i have two tracks i.e. one video clip and
one clip for bitmap image.

I have added key transition between this two tracks , it works properly
, and show image as transparent.

But the image occupies its complete area on that video clip.
So i want to apply Picture in Picture transition aslo whare I can
specify the dimensions of the image as well as position of the image.

But problems is we can't add two transitions as the same time to one
track.

So what I did "I used composition element". In that composition my
image track is present as well as Picture in Picture transition is
present .

And then i added Key transition between this composition and video
track.

It works but transparancy is not accurate also image gets distorted.
So if anyone knows how to resolve this error let me know as soon as
possible.

Thanking you..

Maybe a simple question, but the answer is going to depend on what
software you have available.

And nobody will be able to answer it until you reveal what
software you are using.

The people here collectively use more than a dozen different
kinds of editing software. You did not give us enough clues to
guess which one you are using.

I am doing all this through programming. I am not using any software. I
did all this with a program using DirectShow API's.
So could you plz solve this problems, pla read my previous query once
again.
Thanking you..

That doesn't make any sense to me, sorry. Are you saying
that you are using software you are writing yourself?

Define: "a program"?

Going way out on a limb and making many guesses, you
might consider the fact that you cannot do more than one
effect in a single pass. Hard to tell without any more context
than you have provided. You may have to determine the
most sensible sequence of applying the effects (scaling,
and then chroma key and then dissolve, etc.)

If you don't like the response, and in particular, if it doesn't
make sense to you, I can only reply that you have given us
almost no context or details to work with. We don't know
what kind of files you are using (DV?, MPEGx?, etc.) We
don't know what computer/OS you are running (PC/Windows,
Mac/X?, Linix? etc.) We don't know what language you
are writing this in? We don't know which system calls
(APIs) you are using, etc. etc. etc. We can't read your
mind at this distance. Making us guess will not be useful
to you and will likely discourage any useful response.

Ok Listen What I did The code is follows
<timeline>

<param name="Opacity" value="1.0"/>
</effect>

</track>

And I run the above code through "VB_Dexter" Application.
Now you can easily answer my Qustion..
Plz reply me as fast as possible.
Thank you....

It is quite possible that nobody in this newsgroup can answer
your question, even with sufficient context (which you still have
not supplied). Your question seems more like a programming
question than a video question.
