Hi, how to export the video with transparency??? And thank you for this tutorial!

[IwatoHyena]

Is it possible to export on the free tier? I get a black screen with audio or nothing at all. I was planning on upgrading to commercial once I feel more comfortable in the software but i have red a ton of forums and watched multiple tutorials yet nothing seems to work.

thanks for this tutorial! And I want to know if I set up interactive content, such as mousein CHOP to track my mouse, how can I export a project to keep it interactive and not just a video?

my export stutters when I open it on VLC or media player, I have windows 10. is there any advice on how to export the project so it can run smoothly?

Thanks for that. Would you consider doing a video on the different codec's available and what they're used for. Specifically i find it really difficult to understand which process to use to export the alpha channel, so that my videos / stills have a transparent background (handy when stacking multiple renders in the likes or resolume). I'm also on mac OS, so I think it's a little more tricky. Any help or advice welcome. Thanks again!

So what about the size? meaning, I'm use a pic with a ratio of 1:1, and the video still appears to be 1:1, however, the image manipulated by touchdesigner is smaller, so it shows my content as a box, with a black "Frame" around it. How do I export a video with just the manipulated content and not the black frame?

This and your old Video to this Topic is awesome.

I just have one quesstion:
How can I know how long my Animation is if it is Independent?
Can I set the Time Code instead of Frames?

Because I made a Music visualisation but i have no clue how to export this kind of Project.

My solution (for 60 FPS) would be to calculate:
1 second = 60 Frames
(song lenght) seconds x 60 = Timeline lenght

Why is my render so pixelated and grainy please help.

Hey Bileam! I keep on hitting a small issue on my exports.

I go through the steps you mention in this video: set animation length, loop once, go to first frame and hit record.

However, in the exported video, the first frame different from the rest of the animation. In other words, the first and second frames are mismatched.

It seems like it's getting that first frame where I stopped earlier, before going to the first frame and hitting record.

Do you have any solution for this?

To me it's just not that great nothing is crisp
