[Feature Request] Export Video and Images with Alpha Channel #419

Closed DaniSeeh closed 5 years ago

DaniSeeh commented 5 years ago

I already mentioned this on the subreddit, but this seems to be the best place to put feature requests so I wanted to also post it here.

Some codecs and image formats like ProRes, Cineform, and PNG, etc. Support an alpha channel. When I do compositing in my particular (admittedly strange) workflow I often like to export sequences with Alpha and then rework them into my timeline to save CPU and GPU effort when I have ten or fifteen layers going. It'd be awesome to be able to export RGBA content.

Thanks!

P.S. love proxies

Exporting PNGs with Alpha channel seems to be working great in 0ad58a6. Thanks @itsmattkc!
