Compressed AVI MJPEG matte support

Post by papparaffie »

I noticed the New AVI filesize is rather large, not to say huge.
About 385 MB for a 2 sec. RGBA HD clip.

Exporting the same clip as MJPEG compression:55 results in a 2 MB clip, and still produces a very acceptable result (or compression:100, which really looks good > 13 MB). Yet there is no Alpha (of course). Now I have to flatten my clip, turn it to black and white, export this with the same settings and use it as a track matte, when used in other applications.

Might it be an idea to have a "save track matte" checkbox (or something alike) in the AVI export setting, which will turn the clip to a black movie taking in consideration the transparancy as black?

hmmm, our developpers are not in the office nowadays, and I prefer them to answer on this specific point.
You should have an answer later at the beginning of next week.

nb : for those who asked me : "AVI DirectShow" is the same as the old AVI format.
