How would you check for an alpha channel in the file below.? It was shot with a Nikon D3200. What does Color space : YUV and how does it relate to RGBA. In vegas right click properties/media/alpha channel says none. I read if there was an alpha channel in an RGBA it would be 32 bits. Where would 32 bits be mentioned?
I want to make something similar to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti8MoqmQzuM which is from https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/386246-How-can-I-make-this-effect#post2504976
I will be using Vegas 13 Pro. My cameras are Nikon d3200 and Panasonic TZ60. The TZ60 also says colour space YUV

YUV is a different color space / color model than RGB, it's usually chroma subsampled to save bandwidth. Most consumer acquistion formats are YUV 4:2:0, where the color information is half width, half height
Cameras usually never shoot with an alpha channel. The exception would be a live key in a studio setup ( e.g. weatherman inside studio, shooting over a background) . If you green or blue screen key, then the keyed out green/blue becomes "transparent" and that transparency information is contained in the alpha channel
Mediainfo does not always indicate if an alpha channel is present for all formats, and even if it does, sometimes it's just a "dummy" or fake alpha channel (not necessarily a valid one). So it's not necessarily a reliable tool. If it does indicate one, it will usually say color space "RGBA" -

Basically, are you looking for a way to have an alpha channel as well as a fill channel coming from the computer and into the ATEM switcher? Are you needing to key the PPT over live video, set it back within live video or??? I'm a bit confused over just what you would need the final composite to look like. Tutuapp 9apps Aptoide
