Compressions options for RGB + Alpha
What compressions options are available for creating an overlay graphic with an alpha layer? It seems like all that is available to me is NO COMPRESSION wwhen using RGB + Alpha. I am trying to make sets of graphics to keep on hand. A 10 second overlay is 400mb. Is there anything I can do to reduce the file size?

Thanks. I completely missed the format options. I was only looking in the compression part. I also tried a Quicktime file, but it was much larger. Is there a common or typical format used for overlays and lower thirds when they will be used in Premiere Pro?

It does not appear that Premiere will import the png file as a seqquence like AE does. Is Quicktime my best option for Premiere importing?

You could also try the old favourite of Quicktime + Animation (set depth to Million colours+) and RGB+Alpha.
It uses lossless compression, not as good as PNG but still ok.

For RGB+A I use HUFFY-YUV (avi-codec)
Fast and lossless with a reasonably good compression ratio.
