Hi, I am just finding out about this lack of Quicktime support in Release 19 for PCs. This will be long and I may be wrong about some things so please bear with me.
I have been using .mov as output render files and in the materials for 11 years so I’m kind of in the dark about what I should do now.
The native mp4 function is neat but I need to use animations as textures in my Cinema 4d project with alpha channels and from what I can tell mp4s do not support alpha channels.
I am not a fan of image sequences bc I find they are cumbersome and they clutter up the search function but I tried a PNG sequence with alpha channel anyway and I was able to bring it in as a material but when I set the Texture mode to LAYER and I put a color underneath the Image sequence, it does not show that sequence has an alpha.
How do I get the alpha to work using an image sequence in the texture channel?
Does any one have a replacement suggestion for quicktimes going forward? Quicktimes were so convenient and now everything is very inconvenient. I really don’t want to use sequences and Avis will soon go the way of .mov’s.
Thanks for reading.
Mike
