Transparent Quicktime Movie Possible?

Posted by TH on Dec 03, 2009

Hi,

I apologize if this is a silly question, I am new to NodeBox. Is it possible to export to Quicktime with a transparent canvas using NodeBox? Must I use the CoreImage library to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Sam

Well, I figured it out myself. I just used

Realize, however, that the QT movie format that NB uses has no support for alpha channels (transparency), and so you won't be able to export it with the transparency (I believe).

I had no problem importing my movie into Keynote with the transparency intact.
