PNG sequence with alpha imported as a media plate. It goes completely black on both sides when tagged as a masked object, or becomes completely semi transparent as translucent or alpha pre multiplied. Where am I going wrong??
black on masked / semi-transparent on translucent is premultiplied vs straight mismatch. if your pngs are straight alpha use Alpha Blend, if premultiplied use Alpha Composite — wrong one gives exactly what you see. also make sure not on Masked if you need soft edges. for a no-wiring check alpha video player from fab Alpha Video Player - Transparent Video UMG Widget & UI Media Component (UE5) | Fab plays png seq with alpha correctly as UMG — dropdown for blend modes so you just flip it without rebuilding the material, plus poster/fade if you need
