Dunkers kulturhus Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 What settings do I need to have in Final Cut Pro 7 to be able to export i filmclip with the alpha channel? I want to import the film clip into Watchout with the transparency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 You need to output as QuickTime Animation/Millions+, I belive. That is the only codec choice that support Alpha-channel, as far as I know. /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fahl Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I doubt that FCP can render output with an alpha channe, regardless of codec, as It's really a video editor, and traditional video formats don't have alpha channel. Apple Motion (which I believe comes with FCP) can do it, as well as of course Adobe After Effects and similar compositing apps. Hmm, this page seems to imply that it can be done, albeit with some tricks along the way: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/1138456 so I may be wrong. But either way, you may be better off using a compositing app, such as Motion or AE, Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
