staright vs None/ignore alpha? a couple of questions for you guys…
Hello friends
I just got a QT file that is almost 8gb in file size HD 1920×1080 @ 23.98 and it was not playing down in FCP for some reason so i noticed that the alpha tab had defaulted to straight so i switched it to none/ignore.
My question/s basically are what if anything do i have to be aware of or concerned about – I believe this was rendered out of AE by an animator but before i deliver this i want to be sure to cover my ass.
I will be getting some animated supers and I am doing the sfx / music mix myself in fcp…not sure yet how this is being delivered but if for example i need to lay off to Digi what would be the best way for me to convert this 1920×1080 23.98 sequence for NTSC digi layoff – should i have an AE guy convert or re-render or in that I have a blackmagic card can i be do a ltrbx downconvert whilst laying off or is that option out the window in that its not 29.97??
thanks in advance

The file is probably using the Animation codec. There are almost no FCP configurations that are capable of playing back and processing Animation files in realtime.
