#TGA to Avid Pict ?
7 messages in this thread
Howdy,
I need some help with a question that I have. I use 3D
studio to design lower 3rd name droppers to be Alpha Keyed on our
matrox editing system which works well (cause it's all IBM) But my
company is also buying an Avid Media composer 1000, which uses Mac
PICT format graphics. Is there any conversion software avail. to
convert a 32bit TGA to a 32bit PICT and keep the Alpha information
intact so that the Avid can key it?
-Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you can locate a Truevision NuVista+ owner, they have an
Apple File Exchange script to convert both ways, between .TGA and
PICT. The PICT is 32-bit, but I'm not certain the alpha is
preserved. You can also download the latest NuVista+ drivers from
the MULTIVEN forum, section 6.
Thanks for the info. I don't know anyone w/ a Nuvista+ board, but I'll poke
around and see if I can find that util.
Thanks again,
James J. LaPlante
The Image Alchemy manual says that it will convert to a 32 bit Mac
PICT file. I haven't tried it, but everything else in IA works
flawlessly.
Thanks for the info.
Could you send me information on where I can get more info on Image
Alchemy? Any help would be appr.
thanks again,
