Re: [Avid-L2] Why is a keyable Animation Codec graphic generating a "8 bits greyscale (Y800)" alpha channel?

not sure about QuickTime Animation is only 8 Bit…

afaik QT Animation is transparent up to xBit.

@pale.edit: Source for QT Animation "only 8Bit"?

(jicymi): bit rate and bit depth are two different things)

Animation can be lossless, btw.

That explains it I hadn't found that bit rate spec for the animation codec.  So Animation codec is 8 bit I thought it would be higher but I never really thought about it seriously.
