Besides the information below I have a tutorial on how to use Editor Toolkits in Producer. I am hoping to make more tutorials and if I get enough will start a new thread.
ETK

http://www.photodex.com/sharing/viewsho ... 1436&alb=0I have sent Mike a slide style to use with Swipes and stuff.
An example which uses 126_LowerThird2 from the ETK 6
Steps In Juicer 1. Add file to render to the 'batch panel' and click the "Settings" button;
2. Select required resolution from the 'Presets' drop down menu in the "Canvas" settings panel ("720x576 PAL Widescreen" in my case);
3. Select "QT Animation with Alpha" the 'Presets' drop down menu and select "Render Alpha Seperately" in the "Output" settings panel;
N.B. The "Render Alpha Seperately" option was missing in builds 250 and 251 of Juicer 3 but, it has been re-added to build 258.
4. Specify the location and then click the "Render All" button;
5. Once render is complete, you will end up with 2 files - "126_Lowerthird2.mov" which is the animation movie and
"126_Lowerthird2_alpha.mov" which is the movie containing just the alpha component.
Steps in Proshow Producer (I am using ProShow Producer v3.0 Build 1935)
1. Create a new project with the correct aspect ratio (16:9 in my case) then add a picture to the first slide;
2. Double click on the slide to open the "Slide Options" window;
3. On the far left of this new window, click on the "Layers" button in the top left to make sure you are viewing the "Layers" page which should look something like the picture on page 1 of the attached pdf (picture filename will obviously be different):
4. Using the green "+" button next to the "Contents of Slide" list, then select the "Add image or video" option and add the two
Quicktime files generated by Juicer (this may take some time as the movies are processed by ProShow!);
5. This is the important bit. Using the blue "Up" and "Down" arrow buttons next to the "Contents of Slide" list, re-order the
layers so that the Alpha QT movie ("126_Lowerthird2_alpha.mov") is topmost, followed by the animation movie ("126_Lowerthird2.mov") followed finally by the picture. It should look something like the picture on page 2 on the attachment;
6. Select the "126_Lowerthird2_alpha.mov" movie in the "Contents of Slide";
7. In the box to the right of the "Contents of Slide" list named "Masking", click on the tick box that says "This layer is a mask";
8. Beneath this option, make sure that "Mask Depth" is set to a value of one.;
9. Close the "Slide options" window and preview the project...if all is well, the alpha should work correctly over the top of the
picture on the slide! (the picture on page 3 of the attachment).
ON THE ABOVE HERE IS THE LINK TO FIND THE PICTURES MARK IS TALKING ABOUT.
