Thanks so much for this, great video man! Glad someone is acknowledging how outdated QuickTime is, all the posts I could find on Google (and some other recent videos) only talked about that and not any alternatives.
there is that meme where someone could'nt understand a particular subject, and some random indian guy on youtube was like "come son, i'll teach you". today, you were that indian guy. thanks a lot!
Josh, thanks for this. I am on Vegas Pro 20, and the only Apple options are ProRes BUT I was able to get a simple lower thirds to render and then used Shutter Encoder to create a VP9 WEBM file for OBS and it worked, transparency and all.
There is another way of doing it by rendering as an image sequence using png still files. I do this transferring from HitFilm to Vegas Pro, but equally, you can render an image sequence using VegasPro. 30 secs of UHD image sequence (25fps) uses about 300mb with png transparent images and is same quality as the original frames before rendering. This is easy to import into Vegas Pro through the import media facility.
Thanks a lot. I searched for like an hour on the internet on why I couldn't render with Quicktime but it only showed other problems. Glad that I found your video and it's kind stupid on how sony vegas 17 needs you to enable it first.
Uhm... Josh, I don't think I'm doing anything wrong but I can't see Quick time 7 on rendering options, I downloaded it 7.7.9 version, enabled plugin on Vegas but nope can't see any quick time 7...
Great stuff. That's this evening rendering off all my graphics and pop ups. Should make rendering a lot faster in future rather than lots of 4k nests being processed for the final render.
I just wanted to say that i just tried the Quicktime way in Vegas Pro 15 (Too lazy to upgrade my Vegas365 to 17 (SMH)) and it worked (With graphics and a flash transition and not just text). But it's important to make sure your video properties is the same as your rendering settings. I thought I could skip that step and it was a mistake. | Thanks!
Hey Josh, another great video, alot of times i have found if i need a transparent backgroud on a particular clip i will go to properties then details and click the straight unmatted button and "bam" it works, of course sometimes it doesnt, and thats where some of these instructions will come in handy, thanks again Josh
I have a major problem with this. On a 2 second clip, it gives me a 1GB video file... It's impossible to use :( Do you have any idea why? I can't seem to find a reason behind it.
ok, but how do you export it as an alpha channel video, so like if I add a greenscreen, and i put it in say obs, for something like a stinger transition, i can see underneath it instead of it being black
I am having a serious issue... My Sony Vegas 17 or 14 (they used to) all of a sudden will not render clips that have greenscreen plug ins. I have never seen anything like this in my life. I have a main clip and I am putting in say (greensmoke) it won't render. It goes through the motions, you can see the time lapse moving, but no progression in the rendering bar. LOCKS at 0. This is driving nuts. Any help would be appreciated.
Just tried this with Vegas 18 using second method and could not get to see background ? oopps ! helps if ya change the right file in the properties after rendering :-)
Might have been useful to actually create a simple Lower Third, even if you just had a few planes of colour sliding in with your name appearing over it, because if people don't understand what a Lower Third is, then they're not going to know how useful this is. Maybe show how to make something simple in a future video that people can save and apply to all their own videos.
Hello, I have a question: Is it possible to render a video in Vegas so that you can use it as an alert on Twitch, for example? Because then I still have a black background in other programmes.
That's a good question and I don't see why not. It all depends on how much you can customize the already programmed alert. If it allows you to swap the media, VEGAS should be able to render something to fit it's needs. Otherwise you'll have do do some programming inside OBS to make it work.
So I tried both methods and neither one when added to OBS, will allow me to have a transparent background. I can get it transparent in VEGAS with a background underneath but as a transparent background straight into another program, it doesn't recognize the alpha channel.
Same. I can do it no problem in After Effects but was hoping there was an easy way to do it in Vegas. You should be able to just choose the background color and make it a transparent grid. But nope. So even with the right settings it has a black background. This only works if you want to put a layer behind it inside Vegas.
Not sure. That may be a .gif or something similar. Maybe a mp4 that instead of having a removable BG, make it pure green and use the chroma keyer in OBS on that clip.
I have a problem where, when I do the render, it renders it with red stripes over the entire thing, and it doesn't go away when I change the alpha channel. Any idea on how to fix this?
Hey, Scrapyard, are you having any trouble using Sapphire plugins or Twixtor with Vegas Pro 17? They work fine on 16 for me, but 17 has this weird glitch where Sapphire transitions/effects and Twixtor change the color of my video. It's really bad. Also, when I create .cubes and try to reload them, nothing happens. It's a little more than frustrating. Any insight would be much appreciated.
Borris and other plugin creators are coming out with updates to their plugins to work with V17. I believe it's an anti-piracy thing. I haven't had any trouble loading custom LUTs so I'm not sure how to help on that one. I'm sorry
@@brandocando7208 Hi I cant see quick time in vegas pro 17 either. Which settings do i need to go into the enable Vegas to see it? Can you help please?
2:19 Render with Quicktime 7 (.MOV file) Most common but outdated way of rendering a transparent video 5:34 Render with an alpha channel (.AVI file) Updated version of rendering, but HUGE file. I am using the AVI file version as it works in adobe premiere pro if anyone is wondering! The MOV version doesn''t work for me.
HOLY SHIT BREAKTHROUGH JUST HAPPENED HERE, on the first try! Months of struggle, pain & research finally came to an end! Thank you so incredibly much for a very informative tutorial!!
None of the other tutorials actually showed that you had to enable the quicktime plugin. Taking it step by step really helps out, thank you man!
im using vegas16
problem is, there's no "deprecated features" tab on preferences
Can yah help me about that?
Awesome video! Still relevant today!
Works like a charm.
THANKYOU SO MUCH!! YOU SAVE MY LIFE!
No problem at all! I'd appreciate a shout out if you would be so kind :D
Thanks so much for this, great video man! Glad someone is acknowledging how outdated QuickTime is, all the posts I could find on Google (and some other recent videos) only talked about that and not any alternatives.

Thanks a lot, you're a lifesaver! I've been trying to figure this out without quicktimer for ages!
Nice, thanks for this good structured video 💪
Really really appreciate the information. Your video saved me a ton of time!
Thanks man! I was looking for codecs and turns out i just had to apply the quick time manually :p
Wow. You are amazing. Straight forward and easy to follow.
IM- THE WAY YOU DO GODS WORK MAN

Thank you!! I've been searching how to do this and only this video was able to solve my problem!
Great video, really well explained at a nice pace too
You had me at your vegas tutorial collection. Thank you. Subbed.

2 days of searching for a tutorial for exactly this AVI element!
I was able to follow along.... a little.... much more info than my brain can handle. But I know where to come to if I have to do it!
Yeah, this guy saved me from so many headaches, really informative.
Thank you so much :)

0:00 - 1st way (Involves QuickTime)
5:26 2nd way
Just saving this comment here for later
I have a major problem with this. On a 2 second clip, it gives me a 1GB video file... It's impossible to use :(
Do you have any idea why? I can't seem to find a reason behind it.
Look in my recent videos about how to get a low file size with alpha channels. That is exactly what you're looking for.
ok, but how do you export it as an alpha channel video, so like if I add a greenscreen, and i put it in say obs, for something like a stinger transition, i can see underneath it instead of it being black
Nothing is working plelase help
quicktime 7 still doesnt show up as a render option, instead it shoow apple PreRes. any help?
so for some reason i am unable to run the quicktime ive installed it but the option to enable it is not popping up
and how can i make a black background transparent?
Thank you. What if the video has green screen instead of black background instead ? would the process be different ?
If it has a Green Screen then you'd want to key out the background first using the plugin Chroma Keyer
Thank you so much, the 2nd process worked although I got a 13gb file out of it. lmao.
I downloaded quicktime and enabled it in preferences and it still doesnt come up... what am I missing?

How to export if out of sony vegas so i can use it on other places and keep transparent back ground?
Rendering is a way of exporting which would allow you to add your rendered video to any other NLE
Thank you so much for this. I tried this on Vegas 19 and it wont let you render a QuickTime MOV. Any workarounds?
thanks for this video. On my video, the object seems to be translucent or has Opacity. Do you know why this is happening ?
after i render there's a .sfl in the file name. how can i fix this?

Has any new build came for vegas pro 17??
Not since the initial one a few weeks ago
Hello, I cant find the option to unlock Quicktime in settings. I have Sony vegas 17.
How do I render as a transparent background to use it as a alert upload to streamlabs?
Not sure. That may be a .gif or something similar. Maybe a mp4 that instead of having a removable BG, make it pure green and use the chroma keyer in OBS on that clip.
i tried everything but nothing happens. Brilliant tutorial by the way
It works for a text but not a video, why ?
Does it work in vegas 17?

Currently you have to purchase VEGAS POST to get VEGAS Effects
