I know all about alpha channels – I know to set it to Quicktime + Alpha – I know which file formats can handle alpha channels – I teach FCP, Photoshop, and 3dsMax classes – and if i didn’t know all about these things, I wouldn’t be able to use numerous other programs for 5 years and never have a problem – which is what i said in my post – so if you’d read my post and acutally think about it, you wouldn’t post stupid crap like “set it to Quicktime + Alpha” – all the settings are correct – the piece of crap doesn’t work. And if you knew what you were talking about you also wouldn’t post “it works on my computer”. I have no doubt that it works on your computer, my point is that it doesn’t work on mine. you’re a moron if you think that the fact it works on yours proves that it works on mine. buggy software doesn’t always produce errors that are replicatable on other computers, buggy software produces random errors that occur at random and for no good reason. Now excuse me, I have to go figure out why Motion doesn’t update my Photoshop files, and Reconnect media isn’t easy to find (ie option click on file, or in Menus).

I couldn’t help but read this entire thread and find myself with my jaw open in amazement at not only the initial post from Chris but his last one as well.

Chris, my question to you is this… How in the world could you possibly expect help and ask for it by with such a negative attitude? This forum, along with all the others, are here to help us troubleshoot and learn. Is there anything at all anyone could have said that would have changed your mind about Motion being crap? Sounds like you already have your mind made up about the program and just voicing your opinion of how Motion sucks because you cannot achieve an alpha channel. Does your project require Motion? Couldn’t you use one of them “many” other programs you know to achieve your goal and prevent you from posting such negative CRAP on this forum? We all have trouble and wierd things that only happen to us and no one else….

Remember.. it is all in the approach. When you come off arrogant and know it all, then people are less likely to help you and more likely to analyze you.

I will be surprised if anyone actually offers you a solution to your problem after your last post. Good luck on figuring it out.
