Gradient background help
I'm trying to learn how to add gradient backgrounds to presets, only partial success so far. For example, adding a gradient background to this sample.avs causes Trans/Fadeout to stop working. I've tried many different effect list configurations, but nothing has worked. Could someone give me a clue?

More details are in Misc/Comment.

you should put all the stuff from the sample preset INTO a effectlist put a the gradient stuff before the effectlist.
then figure out which rendermode (out) for the effectlist looks best

That didn't work. Now that i think about it, perhaps what i'm trying to do (a fadeout over a gradient background) just isn't possible?

i guess you didnt understand me.
this sample should explain how you can use the bg and fading stuff.
play around with the output blending modes.

Yes, of course! I also failed to include the buffer save. Don't know what i was thinking, i must have had a brain fart. :-)

Thank you so much.

the buffer save is ONLY required if you use the
output blending mode "buffer".if you use some other output mode delete it for performance.
