New MediaPlate does not correctly remove alpha transparency on PNG sequence

Development Cinematics & Media Virtual Production

Basically I upgraded to UE 5.1 and tried out the new MediaPlate feature. However, UE is not correctly displaying PNG image sequences. I would expect that when I set the blend mode for the media plate to Masked that it would hide the transparent pixels, however it is not and it is just showing a black square around it.

What is going on?

I’m currently attempting to uninstall UE 5.1 and reinstall and see if that fixes anything.

Thanks.

Hi, I did have a fix for this and I got PNG’s to work properly. But I actually just switched to using EXR files because they are better quality and easier to use compared to PNG. Let me know if you want me to get a video that helps you solve this. Thanks.
