Alpha Channel settings

Alpha Channel Settings

The Alpha channel, or shadow detail, in Toaster CG is actually two devices, depending upon the type of page you're making.
Since we're creating a Framestore page, the Alpha Channel is variable between 0 and 255. If you switch to a key page, however, you'll notice there are four areas within the Alpha slider on the Palette selector. That is because there are only four different levels of keyable transparency available to the Toaster while it's actively superimposing text on top of the Program bus.
