I want to use a format that allows alpha channels and audio (normally I use the animation codec inside of aftereffects for QT files)

You can add an audio file to the folder and rename it to match the first image in the sequence and you should be good to go when loaded into vMix. Some of the details are discussed here: https://forums.vmix.com/...aspx?g=posts&t=10632 Hope that helps. Ice

Much smaller files that QT animation also. https://www.newtek.com/ndi/tools/ Steve

Many tools on that page :) Is there a download to an Newtek video file format? I didn't see it. Or are you saying you use the Adobe plugin and send stuff real time from After Effects or Premier?

This codec supports alpha channel by choosing selection that has four digits of color space (like SpeedHQ 4:2:2:4 or 4:2:0:4). There is also a OSX version of SpeedHQ that can be downloaded from http://new.tk/dl The codecs are available on the bottom of the page. Kane Peterson NewTek

Much smaller files that QT animation also. https://www.newtek.com/ndi/tools/ Steve Hi Steve, I've been trying to use the newtek codecs with alpha channel, without success. I'm exporting the videos selecting the alpha option on Adobe After effects, but when I add them into VMIX the alpha doesnt work. I even tryied to tick the "this video contains alpha channel", while adding it. It's possible that I'm missing something while exporting or importing, can you give me some more information so I get it to work? I'm currently having huge performance issues by using multiple .mov animations into my production. Thank you.

Alpha channel was there. Must be a setting somewhere. Kane Peterson NewTek

VLC reports the codec is "SHQ3".

It works on my TriCaster and with After Effects without having to do anything special. I don't use vMix (just here to help with NDI questions). Perhaps someone else here knows if there is a step you are missing. Kane Peterson NewTek

Also works fine in Vegas.

Ice - Current VLC Player doesn't support SpeedHQ, unless you are using VLC v3 betas. - Apple's QuickTime Player will play the files at long as the NewTek codecs are installed (use QuickTime 7 on OSX systems). - Windows MediaPlayer will not play any QuickTime codec beyond H.264. - I have no idea about vMix. The SpeedHQ codec is supported in both AVI and QuickTime files. Kane Peterson NewTek
