Everyday I seem to find some new quirky problem in MC.
I'm running MC 8.8.3 on Win10. I created a number of photoshop PSDs which are just text on transparent backgrounds exported from After Effects. Something I've literally done thousands of times. I imported one and it was fine, overlayed onto my video on a second video track. I imported several more and was shocked to see just black in the source viewer for the entire clip. Thinking I'd done something wrong I double checked my import settings and re-imported the images. Same problem. They open and appear fine in Photoshop.
I closed MC and even rebooted the system and still have the same problem. If I import the image ignoring the alpha the text in the image appears. But no matter which alpha option I pick, invert or not, the image comes up blank.
To make matters even worse, the existing image that I imported correctly and overlayed onto my footage is now blank.
What the heck?
I just imported a Quicktime Animation with an alpha channel and the same result. Just a blank image.
