Setting the Channels for the Target
 
 
 

You can specify the channels you want the Player view or fullscreen Player to display for its target.

NoteYou can set the channels for the target in the fullscreen Player only if you entered it through a Player view.

To set the channels for the target:

  1. Do one of the following to display the Player options:
    • In the Player view or fullscreen Player, press the tilde key (~) or middle-click and go through the south gate.
    • In the Player view or fullscreen Player, right-click to display the Player menu.
  2. In the Player options, select the Display tab or select View Mode in the menu.

  3. Set the channels for the target.
    Select: To display:
    Chns: RGB All channels (RGBA, RGB, or A) contained in the target. For example, if the target is the output of an RGBA composition, it displays RGBA channels. If the target is the output of an RGB composition, it displays RGB channels.
    RGB The red, green, and blue channels.
    RGBA The red, green, blue, and alpha channels.
    A The alpha channel.
    <user-defined> Any combination of RGBA channels. Enter the combination you want as a four-character string in which you specify each channel either as the channel letter (if you want to display it), or as a blank (if you do not want to display it). Position is significant: the first position is R, the second G, the third B, and the fourth A. For example if you wanted to see only the blue and alpha channels, you would enter two spaces or 2 'Ns' followed by BA.
