Excellent! Thank you

Excellent! Thank you

you can export as RAW avi and have it with transparent BG. But the file sizes are HUGE!

most efficient route is to export as a PNG sequence. your editor should be able to read a filder containing your sequence as a video file.

Also you can just set your background to something like pure green or pure blue (or any color really that your character isn't using. And just use your video editors "keying" feature to make that color invisible. With that method you can use any video format you want.

In other words I can't export the video with transparent background unless I buy PopVideo software for $99? While Mac users can do it for free using some apple format? Is that correct?

Thanks

If you wish a transparent background then you can export as Sequence PNG or our own .popVideo format. You can also Quick Render an Animated GIF with transparent background. :)

Thanks for replying. Then is there anyway to export a video with transparent background using CTA3 on Windows please?

If you are using the Windows version of CrazyTalk Animator 3 you won't have the MOV option. Only the Mac version offers this option.

Hi there, I can't find the .MOV extension :(
Any help please :D

That sounds like some of the Frame Size pop-up menu options, from about half way down the Render Settings dialog box.  Anyway, glad you're on your way to a CTA/FCPX workflow now.

Thanks a lot for your helpful and quick reply. So strange I couldn’t see any option for Apple pro res when I tried to export before. Only for export to iPad / iPhone / 1080p etc etc. Now when I op ened the project again Thise options have disappeared and in place are the Apple Pro res etc. I guess I must have done something wrong. Strange.
