Re: [Avid-L2] Animated PNGs?

Hi Roger,
Although my comment wasn't aimed at you (I know you study :-), this is a good time to toy around with FFmpeg.
(WeTransfer the darn thing to me if you like.)

Well, I am still learning and that is why I asked the question.

Editing once was a craft for creative technicians who were not afraid to think beyond the box, learn, explore, get educated, see things from another side.
That seems to have gone, too bad.

What I mean to say (amongst other things):
Learn FFmpeg, and learn 'some' form of scripting.
(Or go the way of the Dodo.)

Here's a suggestion from a FCPX friend of mine.

Load in FCPX
Send to Compressor
Transcode to TIFF image sequence.

Good luck.

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,

Benjamin

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?
