Brightness dipping when fading layers

[Mr_P]

Re dipless x-fades...

theres a setting I learnt about today - which i was un-aware of...

You can change the way x-fades work in mix windows by selecting either 'Glitch A' or 'Glitch B'.

X-Fading works slightly differently in a mix window due to 'double transparency' - so theres a 'B' setting to compensate for this.

Try selecting 'Glitch B' from the 'Mix Type' options and see if this helps.

Cant take credit for this nugget of information - thanks goes to RB...

Actually, doing it with Glitch B would mean you can simply create opaque images and fade one up over the other.

Glitch B darkened my images significantly, but it did take away the brightness dip... What does Glitch B actually do, do you know?

double transparency when rendering into mix buffer -then again onto screen.

i couldnt find a solution to this - that worked both ways - last time i looked at this -and i was under a lot of pressure to solve it-

What if you were to add a gain enhancement to the mix? Something where the gain is proportionate to the opacity?

no. its an alpha channel problem.
gain messes with colour.
