Alex-Raymond T., LOVE and gato@mo like this!
Grass Valley offers a nice codec pack that can be downloaded here:
edius.net...
The encoder can be used in BluffTitler when:
-choosing the menu item FILE > EXPORT AS VIDEO...
-marking the COMPRESSED AVI checkbox
The encoder shows up in 3 versions:
-Grass Valley HQ
-Grass Valley HQ Encoder
-Grass Valley HQX
The 2nd, Grass Valley HQ Encoder, does not support an alpha channel. The other ones do.
The puzzling thing is that the installer only comes with a 64 bits version of the Grass Valley HQ Encoder. The only one that does NOT support an alpha channel! Because BluffTitler is a 64 bits app since version 15, this means that the Grass Valley codec can no longer be used to create transparent videos.
Does anybody know what's happening here?
Is there a secret setting hidden somewhere to make it generate transparent videos in a 64 bits app?

Je suis certain que quelqu'UN quelque part t'apportera la solution. Je le souhaite. Pour ma part, je vous souhaite une Bonne & Heureuse Année 2022 remplie de joies et de bonheur et aussi la solution du Codex.

Michiel, I did some tests and I come to the same conclusion as you, the transparent background is not generated with Grass Valley HQ Encoder, although in the documentation it is well specified:
grassvalley.com...
Maybe we should contact them?

Well, I came here trying to find "the reason" as well. The "Grass Valley" Codec creates files at least half or even a third smaller than a Huffy with alpha so it's much better. Currently my Magix Vegas ver. 19 exports a Grass Valley encoded file fine with transparency but BluffTitler will not ;(
