Lower 3rd with CS3
by Mark Pedini on Nov 11, 2008 at 4:11:54 pm

I have a pdf called "After Effects Settings for Lyric Movie Objects" which explains how to save an animation with an alpha so it can serve as a lower 3rd. In "Output Module Settings" it says to select "Video for Windows" in the format drop-down menu. But in my CS3 copy of AE, this does not exist. Can anyone suggest an alternative?

thanks - Mark

If you're on a Mac you can use the Animation setting - Just make sure that you have Millions+ checked to create an embedded alpha. You'll need to load Quicktime onto your Chyron. I really prefer using QT movies over WMV; I think the file size is bit smaller and it seems much cleaner to me.

Thanks for the info. I am indeed on a Mac. I'm going to see if I can get the "keeper of the chyron" to install quicktime.
