FCP Preferred Still Image Format?
Hi All,
I prefer not to use still images and I am “wrapping” them into movies in QT Pro.
But in a machine without a hardware card is there a preferred format?
TIF
PNG
TGA etc.I need a format the can have an alpha.
I am using PNG at the moment…but I am just wondering if there is a preferred format that might be faster to process?
Thanks,
Denzel. -

I have long been a firm believer in using PCTs when in need of an alpha channel for stills. I just recently worked on a project in which all of the stills were prepped as PNGs and I decided to give it a try. I experienced slower renders, occasional crashes. I was working with hundreds of stills (all PNGs).
It may just be me, but I still prefer PCTs.
