ProAnimator issues
hello,
I just tried using the latest ProAnimator (4.1.0) as a standalone 3D text generator which works as advertised. Problem is that when I choose to render a single frame with Aplha Channel clicked – it always generates a black background (as it should for an Aplha channel) – BUT – when I output as a .pict file and bring this into Photoshop, the Aplha channel doesn’t work. The background stays black! I am not even sure if a .pict file supports Aplha capabilities?
I am trying to use the 3D text for a web site project and would like the text to have alpha capabilities when going to .gif. Is ther a way to do this correctly?

Hello FinalOne,
yes, the pict format supports alpha channels and ProAnimator 4 exports picts with alpha channels. I just did a “render frame” and saved the picture in pict format, opened it in Photoshop and the alpha channel was there… from ProAnimator 4.

Hi FinalOne.
As Jon said, you’re probably getting a PICT file with an alpha channel, but let’s make sure.
Once you’ve opened the file in Photoshop, find the Window menu.
Open the Channels palette (Window >Channels) and notice that there
is indeed an Alpha channel.Let us know if you have any further questions.
