[v6 General Discussion] GTX980M / Alpha Channel / Atem Television Studio

Hi all, bought a new laptop and these are its outputs:

1x HDMI (Plugged into HDMI 2 of Atem Television Studio)
1x DisplayPort (Plugged into HDMI 3 of Atem Television Studio)

Additional Information:
OS: Windows 10 Pro (1511 build)
Memory: 16GB
Video Memory: 8GB
EasyWorship Version: 6.4.8

I followed the steps to using Alpha Channel with the BlackMagic Television Studio as well as other guides, but I seem to be running into a few issues.

1 The Alpha SOURCE does not output the same size as FILL SOURCE. It's about 20% bigger. (It's just black text.) **1st Picture**
Note: I changed the background to yellow to show the size difference between the two sources. One shrinks. No idea why.
2. I cannot seem to output video from EasyWorship with the GTX 980M. (Black screen)
----- I disabled the Alpha channel and ran the program again.
----- I disabled scaling on High DPI.
----- EasyWorship seems to output using the integrated graphics processor. (HD Graphics 530)






I really can't seem to wrap my head around why this is not working. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi David,
Thanks for posting this. This is good information.
Ok so I've figured out a few things. nVidia Optimus doesn't play well with EW6. Disable optimus by disabling the integrated graphics so EW6 can use Nvidia's dedicated card. (Requires a restart.)

Yellowish color is because I set my screen display to protect my eyes so the blue was dimmed (lol).

DisplayPort and HDMI Out both work as Alpha Channels and/or Output.
