Pseudo Alpha Filter

The Edit Pseudo Alpha filter creates an alpha channel for the image based on the image's first pixel (the upper-left corner pixel). All pixels that have the same color as this pixel become transparent.

  • Rendering menu > Video Post > Video Post toolbar > (Add Image Filter Event) > Choose Pseudo Alpha Filter from the Filter Plug-In list.
  • Rendering menu > Video Post > Video Post window > Select a Contrast Filter. > Video Post toolbar > (Edit Current Event)

Because only one pixel color becomes clear, edges of the opaque areas are aliased. The main use for this filter is when you want to composite a bitmap whose format does not have an alpha channel.

There is also a layer event called the Pseudo Alpha Compositor.

There are no setup options for this filter.
