Erik Rönnqvist Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 HapAlpha would be my first choice when you need transparency. If the quality is not good enough you can try quicktime animation (qtrle). The files will usually be huge for qtle, except for some types of content which can easily be compressed. Image sequences could also work. Targa (.tga) files support transparency and are fully supported in Watchout. .png files with transparency should also work. /Erik 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vollmers Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hap Alpha usually works great. If you're not satisfied with the alph, try to change the setting. Normally it is set to auto detect, but I had an issue once, and changing to the straight alpha setting made a big difference.

Erik Rönnqvist Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hap support is built in into Watchout, so there is no need to download a codec. Which Watchout version are you using? Hap is not supported in version 5 and earlier. /Erik 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Rönnqvist Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hap video are usually in .mov files, so it should be ok. Does the hap video play, meaning that thumbnail generation is the only problem? Which Hap flavour is the file in? (Hap, HapAlpha or HapQ)? Please note that Watchout has no support for HapQAlpha. If you need to run Hap with alpha channel, please stick to HapAlpha. /Erik 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
