Creating AVI with alpha?
Does anyone know how to go about this? I want to have a live actor interacting in a cartoon world. I went out and got some green fabric and can light it uniformly, using it in applications like iMovie produce an adequate cutout.
However, even knowing how to use a search engine, I cannot seem to find any low-cost software for the Mac (Snow Leopard) that can chromakey and create an AVI with alpha. Not much left in the ol' budget.

Re: Creating AVI with alpha?
CinaGobs is free and can export AVI with alpha. Make sure you set the output to RGB + alpha. It will take you awhile to learn the software but it does work.CoffeeStained wrote:Does anyone know how to go about this? I want to have a live actor interacting in a cartoon world.

iMovie would actually suffice if all I wanted to do was interact with objects in front of the actor, but I want the actor to interact with objects all around.
Unfortunately I can't afford even FCE right now, there's a good chance I might have to hold off until I can. However, an idea that I had, which is kindof a long workaround is to film the greenscreen, import the video into AS and work out all the interaction.
Save the background action as a movie.
Save the foreground action with green matte.
Composite the live greenscreen w/ background as lossless video,
then recomposite the foreground on top.
It's a bit of extra work, but all I've got is all I've got. I was just hoping to find some cheap consumer-level keying software that could allow me to do all the compositing at once in AS.
