How to import a transparent .MOV

Post by uncle808us »

I have a .mov that was exported from my 3D software (Cheetah 3D) as a movie png but when opened in Anime Studio Pro Ver.11.2.1 it has a black background how can I import the .mov without the background? Thank you.
I use a MacBook Pro, and Anime Studio Pro 11.2

Check your export settings in Cheetah. The PNG codec is a correct choice, make sure to also selet "Millions+ colours", otherwise the alpha will not get saved.

In cheetah I do export as .png but I see no choice for "Millions+colors. Where is this selected?
