O.k. I’ll just leave it at 8 bpc. I don’t see any banding in Quicktime and if it keeps the file size down..that’s a good thing for the internet.

I guess I’ll do 16 bpc for rendering out to dvd, ect.

Thank you guys for a quick response,
Doug

I think the problem is that I am using a program called sitegrinder to build my website which doesn’t support transparency until I get a plug-in. So know matter what I do.. when I test the quicktime movie in the browser .. it comes in with the square black background. I can bring the footage into premier pro or back into after effects and it does have a transparent background.

I guess I need to do all the compositing in after effects.. then it will be fine.

I plan on using Photo-Jpeg as the codec for the Quicktime movie.

Thanks so much again,
Doug

Thanks guy’s. I also watched the tutorial and think I should be able to figure this out now. I am rendering for the web in which Andrew Kramer recommends a quicktime movie (using animation) as a reliable format.

But I did read that quicktime will always ad a black background?

If this is the case.. it will never work using a quicktime render. What’s the next most reliable format that will keep the background transparent?

Thank you Dave and Simon.
