Hi,

Anybody faced problems reading Uncompressed AVI to Blender ? How it occurs here is mainly messed image in NLA Editor view. Like there would be 4 side by side frames with really weird color handling.

Thanks for info,
-Mika

I haven't had any problems

can you make a small version of that avi with the same problems, and upload it somewhere so that we can see?

(or even upload a screenshot)

Hi,

First I hope this really is Uncompressed AVI, like I claim it to be. Anyways I have MainActor video editor which I used to create this.

First a screenshot

And the AVI (not so small 3M)

I hope this helps,

Hey Mika !

Your avi contains an alpha channel, but Blender only handles
avi files without alpha channel (24 bit).
That's why Blender is giving you a disturbed image...

Hi,

Thank you very much !!!

Indeed ! I didn't notice that bloody ALPHA channel there. Do you think Blender will support RGB + Alpha someday or should I start bugging MainConcept to add channel handling to export functions ?

Thank you very much,

Hmm, until now i was convinced AVI's didn't contain an alpha channel.
I can't make any promises, but I'll have a look at the code....

*update*
This is yucky code, and behaves entirely different for Windows as it does for other platforms.
Best option is to bug MainConcept... even if i wanted to sort this out, I might only be able to
fix it for Windows. Sorry Mika.
