Hello, there is a workaround, you can read on http://www.mp- development.de/blog/18-openshot-blender-titelanimation-transparenz- fehler (german language)
you have to edit the phython-script files which controls the blender rendering in /usr/share/pyshared/openshot/blender/scripts/ 1) search for: 'color' : [0.8,0.8,0.8], 'alpha' : 1.0, and add the line: 'alpha_mode' : 'TRANSPARENT', 2) search for: except: bpy.context.scene.render.image_settings.file_format = params["file_format"] bpy.context.scene.render.image_settings.color_mode = params["color_mode"] and add the lines: try: bpy.context.scene.render.alpha_mode = params["alpha_mode"] except: pass Please fix the scripts. without the transparency working directly, this function is completely useless! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of UBUNTU - AL - BR, which is subscribed to OpenShot Video Editor. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1365851 Title: No transparency on animated titles Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Confirmed Bug description: This seems to be around for a while but I couldn't find a way to fix it: When creating animated titles, they always have a gray background, whatever "alpha" settings I use. Instead of being transparent, the title totally obstructs the underlying video track. I *have* read that there was (?) a bug concerning using SKY vs. TRANSPARENT settings for Blender somwehen, but it appears not to have been fixed. I observe this on two machines: 1. Ubuntu Studio 14.04 (64-bit), OpenShot 1.4.3 (versions *should* be same as below but cannot check right now) 2. Linux Mint 17 (Cinnamon, 64-bit), OpenShot 1.4.3-1.1 and Blender 2.69-4ubuntu2, MLT & melt 0.9.0-3, libavcodec54 6:9.16-0ubuntu0.14 (versions as Synaptic shows them) Both are the versions installed by the distro's software centers, respectively. I didn't risk messing up things by trying to add ppas or compiling myself, being a Linux newbie, more or less.
