Sandi_SLR any advice on how to assemble the alpha to use it on premiere, cant figure it our for the life of me
Passthrough & Greenscreen
metichemsi Try using the alpha packer then.
I am not versed in Premiere to know the steps. Maybe @metaverse can give some pointers.
Sandi_SLR Thanks, hopefully @metaverse can provide some tips on how to get this to work on premiere.

This may be a dumb question, but is the only way in DeoVR to use the passthrough correctly is by streaming? The passthrough doesn't seem to work when playing a local file via PCVR/Link cable
metichemsi will share a link tomorrow for premiere project preset.
metaverse thank you, appreciate your help with this in the meantime. Cant wait to see what you share

metaverse Thank you for sharing this. What I was trying to accomplish was to be able to manually insert my own custom BG on one of your new alpha videos. Because they are in alpha, then the normal keying of the green doenst work anymore. What I was asking is if there is a simple way for us to take one of your published alpha videos and key out the background on a program like premiere and add our own backgrounds. From my testing so far, without the original alpha channel you made for your videos, it's almost impossible to "reverse" this process on our own. What I was wondering is if you could share the alpha channel you created for those alpha scenes that we can download and use on premiere to add our own backgrounds on those videos.
metichemsi Oh, that's a little harder.
I can make a preset to reverse alpha to remove background, but will take some time.
Will try tomorrow
metaverse understood, you guys dont save a copy of the source alpha separately? Your software solution has you add the video and the source alpha separately before it spits out the finished product, I was thinking your team just has a backup of the source alpha for all of these scenes, we can simply use that to easily replace the backgrounds ourselves.
metichemsi We currently render the scene with alpha already in it.
metichemsi then the normal keying of the green doenst work anymore
It does, you gotta turn the "A" off then you can move the sliders.
Vrsumo2017 thanks but I meant keying on a program like premiere pro, not the app.

metichemsi i see, the thing is we don't store alpha channel separately, but render the whole thing together as master + embedded alpha in the corners.
I will try to come up with preset for reverting / using alpha in the video to cut the background preset, but will take me some time. will keep you updated
metichemsi here, i made a preset for keying out background using alpha
