I tried this file in 12 and 13 and the avi (which used a green screen) worked fine with the alpha channel. 13.5 doesn't hide the green screen the animation is solid (opaque)
Also, the avi's I have in files are flipped Vertically (not a big issue just flipping it back works fine)

Re: AVI with alpha doesn't work
On Windows, there is no longer a video import/export option with alpha, due to dropping 32-bit support, which also included anything QuickTime related.
The only option is PNG image sequence.

Re: AVI with alpha doesn't work
I saw the comments on not being able to export so makes sense if you can't export your not gonna be able to import. Technically the PNG is a better way anyway. Thanks Wes.

Re: AVI with alpha doesn't work
The fact that we cannot export in some sort of video codec with alpha channel is unacceptable, We have to change the whole workflow of the project, To deal with PNG sequences is going to be a burden for my animators.
Right now they export png sequences in local, the convert to apple proRes with alpha, is a annoying extra step.
I understand that updates comes with changes, but removing features is another thing, this had to be communicated properly :/
They could at least enable to export the alpha channel as a separate black and white mp4, like other software does.

That would be a good feature request actually!work2survive wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 1:00 pmThey could at least enable to export the alpha channel as a separate black and white mp4, like other software does.
