    Flash has alpha channels. Kind of sad that nothing in FCP does accept Animation, eh?

    I can create flash files through sorenson, but still what do you deliver a client?

    A flash file with an alpha. After you do the key, you export a flash with an alpha. You are talking aobut the talking head, right?

    No video codecs that come with FCP carry an alpha channel. Only 8bit RGB Animation, and that comes with Quicktime.

    I’m thinking the talking head and the titles. What would you deliver to a client? Do we just assume that they have a web person who can handle a flash file with Alphas? How would the titles be done?

    [Greg Ball] “I’m thinking the talking head and the titles. What would you deliver to a client?”

    You could deliver a flash movie (prekeyed with titles and BG) and the client needs to program everything else (like the buttons) or you simply hand over a keyed taking head and have them program everything else. Yes, you’d need a Flash web designer.

    You never assume, you should ask.

    By the look of the sample it has all been done , including the video c/k, using Flash.
    The background is too clean to have been done in an NLE and then exported as FLV.

    If the person is placed on a background like this, no alpha channel is needed. It’s just a regular movie and whatever format your Web people use will work.

    Have a wonderful day.
