Importing a TGA animation sequence

You can import .TGA animation sequences to use in your Aurora Edit sequences.
Aurora Edit imports a TGA bitmap file for each frame of sequentially numbered video,
and combines them into a single video clip.

In order to use a .TGA sequence in Aurora Edit, the Aurora Edit sequence needs to
have a Graphics track available.

The imported animation sequence, when placed on the Aurora Edit Timeline, is a
video clip plus a resize video effect using the alpha channel for transparency.

If, for some reason, you don’t want the animation sequence to be transparent over the
video on the other video track, you can turn it off by highlighting the clip, right-clicking
and selecting

Properties

, and unchecking

Enable Video Alpha
