Hi, how to export the video with transparency??? And thank you for this tutorial!

[@arkaputra620]

thanks for this tutorial! And I want to know if I set up interactive content, such as mousein CHOP to track my mouse, how can I export a project to keep it interactive and not just a video?

[@theboytheycalljonny1]

Thanks for that. Would you consider doing a video on the different codec's available and what they're used for. Specifically i find it really difficult to understand which process to use to export the alpha channel, so that my videos / stills have a transparent background (handy when stacking multiple renders in the likes or resolume). I'm also on mac OS, so I think it's a little more tricky. Any help or advice welcome. Thanks again!

[@ailisnelis2383]

heloo, have you figured out how to do what u asked for in this comment?

[@theboytheycalljonny1]

@@ailisnelis2383 i think the only option is to render frames then animate after. Still not sure on the best practice though.

[@pnkrabbts]

my export stutters when I open it on VLC or media player, I have windows 10. is there any advice on how to export the project so it can run smoothly?

[@riddydx6680]

It was stuttering in VLC for me too but works much better when opening with QuickTime player

This and your old Video to this Topic is awesome. I just have one quesstion: How can I know how long my Animation is if it is Independent? Can I set the Time Code instead of Frames? Because I made a Music visualisation but i have no clue how to export this kind of Project. My solution (for 60 FPS) would be to calculate: 1 second = 60 Frames (song lenght) seconds x 60 = Timeline lenght

Hey Bileam! I keep on hitting a small issue on my exports. I go through the steps you mention in this video: set animation length, loop once, go to first frame and hit record. However, in the exported video, the first frame different from the rest of the animation. In other words, the first and second frames are mismatched. It seems like it's getting that first frame where I stopped earlier, before going to the first frame and hitting record. Do you have any solution for this?

[@VisualBeatLab]
