Hey guys,

i'm new to max but i've come quite a long way in just three days,
but now i'm stuck on de opacity of a picture.

as you'll see in the attached file, i want to make a simple logo animation.
the blocks move down then to the left, and then a logo should become visible.
but now it's stuck on only three stages: invisible, 50% and visible

I really hope you guys can help me

you're modulating the blend_mode for some reason. that determines how blending is computed, and you should probably leave it at the default settings if all you want is alpha based blending.

Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

to fade in/out on a videoplane, simply attach a floating point number from 0. to 1. to a the message box [ color 1 1 1 $1 ]
that will allow you to fade in and out using the alpha value.
