I just bought popvideo 3, and I feel like I'm missing something obvious. I'm setting out to take a sequence of png files and make a transparent avi video. I open a new project, then I import all the files. The workspace shows exactly what I wanted, a figure animated on a blank background (i.e. chessboard texture). On the Edit panel, I select Mask Video/Image. On the Export panel I select avi and click export, and select Full Frames (uncompressed). It makes the video, then when I play it, instead of being transparent, it has a solid black background. Please help a newbie.Hi..
popVideo 3 can't export AVI video with a built in alpha channel. The only video format (apart from popVideos) that supports an alpha channel is the MOV format. If you wish to use AVI then you will need to export your source video and alpha channel video separately and then combine them in a video editor afterwards.
Please see the Online Manual page
HERE which explains this in more detail.
