Oh good I’m not going crazy I was like “how long has there been an entire active forum of Draft discussion going on that I didn’t see?!” Oh it’s mostly mine.
Mostly sound like the nagging issues and…
Fix TIFF/TGA/PNG Alpha issues with H264? Alpha issues don’t seem to be limited to EXR.
Also is there any chance for 1.5 to support uncompressed AVI inputs w/ audio? One of our workflows is to render pieces out of AE with sound sync’ed and motion graphics w/ audio and then use that AVI as our master for h264s, pro-res and WMVs. It doesn’t really fit very neatly into the Deadline Task/Frame workflow but it would help make Draft a one-stop shop for deliverables.
Could you be a bit more clear as to what you’re referring to here? Are you just talking about about the whole “Transparency -> Straight Alpha” fix for h264 QTs on Windows? If so, that falls under my “get h264 playing back consistently” category. It’s also what’s been giving me a giant headache for the past week or so =/
Unfortunately, handling audio isn’t something that we’ve looked at, and currently falls outside of the scope of anything we’re planning on doing in the short term.
Good news! In spite of being side-tracked by a totally different composition bug (turns out we mixed up the Gravity and Comp Operator arguments in the CompositeWithGravity call… oops!), I got this alpha bug fixed. I also plugged in a brand new build of FFmpeg and got ProRes working
I’ll get a new build up once I re-build and test stuff on the Mac & Linux.
Can you not normally view ProRes QTs on Windows? Either way, I’m not having any trouble viewing the ProRes .mov’s I’ve been generating in Draft on Windows.
