Grabbing Alpha Channel from Video null as texture

How-To
1

Hiya

I am wondering if it is possible to grab alpha information coming through a video null and convert that into a black and white texture so I can pipe that in to 2D postfx nodes like glow mask image and colour correction effect amount

Any help will be appreciated!

Best regards
Nick

One way to do this would be using the channel boolean post-fx node on the video null. You can move the channel data round to use the alpha information for the RGB value of each pixel. That should give you a black and white texture of the alpha image which you can use elsewhere.
