virtual spokesperson for website – file type?
Posted by Bob Knapp on September 15, 2010 at 5:58 pmHi all,
I’m trying to create a virtual spokesperson for a website. I know how to shoot it and remove the background. What I don’t know is how to save the video in the correct file type for websites. I know an alpha channel is involved but can anyone help me with the steps in AE?
Thank you everyone!

September 15, 2010 at 6:40 pmIf all you need to do is to provide the spokesperson with alpha, then render out from AE a format that supports alpha channel. Then you or the person that is actually doing the website can encode that to whatever format is needed. Like Matthew suggested it can be Flash or some other format depending if the site uses Flash, HTML5 or whatever.

September 15, 2010 at 6:50 pmSave it out as an animation compression QT movie with an alpha channel… that’s what I’d do… let with the web guys deal with it after that…. there are a thousand ways to deliver this with an alpha channel… but unless they can be more specific.. that’s about as universally accepted method as you will find.
