[Bf-committers] Quicktime and Alpha

[Matt Ebb]

Yes it does, but it depends on a) what codec you're using, and b) the  
quicktime settings, not the blender RGBA settings.

Eg. the quicktime animation codec supports alpha and I use it a lot  
for this reason (among others). In the codec settings, just set the  
colour depth to "Millions of Colours+" and you get an alpha channel.  
Blender understands it too - here's an old picture from a couple of  
years ago showing a .mov with alpha used as a texture in Blender:
