Re: [Avid-L2] Animated PNGs?

Yes - but my enquiry was more of a general 'What is this format and how do we deal with it in other applications?'

Does imovie not let her export it as a movie file?

I'm afraid none of these suggestions work. The file was created on an iPad using an app called Procreate. Photoshop would only see the static first frame - same with Premiere, After Effects, Media Encoder, Avid and Resolve. The only things that worked were, as I said, up-to-date versions of iMovie, FCPX and Telestream Screenflow. It's not a big problem for me as my daughter will use the file in iMovie ... but that's not a route I would normally go down!

Convert it to an image sequence then ingest.

 

 

Photoshop should be able to read the file, see it as separate frames, and do the export as png sequence, relatively easily (though I'm not familiar with animated png).

 

Keep us posted on progress/solution.

 

Cheers,

Never seen them before, but seems to be a web format not unlike GIF, so not really surprised that it doesn't play nice in many video editing apps. Maybe After Effects or Photoshop could convert them to a video format?

OK - my daughter has produced an animated PNG ( I had to look it up). It has an alpha channel. It plays correctly keyed over video in iMovie, FCPX and Telestream Screenflow but not in Avid, After Effects or Resolve where it displays as a static frame (I didn't go further). Anyone come across these?
