He can't

C5 Quicktime png compression ?

No more Quicktime for C6

Hey Piem it isnt the case. It show a screenshot with the frame save option with the PNG option...
I have QT in my C6 here.

Piem · 7th November 2007, 17:56

So it's only can be a plugin

Sorry for my words about Quicktime, you are right..I tried on a machine without Quicktime ^^

That's interesting because I use png's allot for games, except that I use photoshop actions to convert sequenced psd files with transparency to png's with transparencies.

So, I tried using the quicktime output with the png compressor and I'm wondering what good is it? It looks like a normal quicktime; the transparency doesn't work when I bring it into Flash and there's no option to do a still or a sequence.

I use pngs (with clear backgrounds) regularly into say, blackboards. which, obviously render in the movie form appropriately to my scene..
If making a still in Carrara where I will need a clear background later, I provide a bright blue or green backdrop which, in a moment, I can elimiate in Photoshop.
I stick with the H264 compresion in QT.

You know you can turn on alpha channels with psd output, right? That's better than doign a green-screen beecause there's no fringe and no worries about deleting wanted green pixels.

Thanks for that one. At my age you think of the most simple solutions that come to mind--mostly!--they work "adequately" for my simple needs.

I have Hexagon and Amapi7.52 but I am now in love with MoI---so much simpler for me!

And 3D Brush!---what a joy compared with painting in Hex--or working with Z-Brush!
