2009 AVA: Are you working hard?

[BuddyB309]

You guys are getting this rendering thing completely wrong. Don't render out in .bmp files. Render out in .tga or .png files. That way they have an alpha channel and you can composite layer rendering. As soon as your shot is done rendering, take the image sequence folder and make after effects or premier turn them into .mov files with the animation codec. Still no quality loss and they all still have alpha channels.

Either way, if you don't want quality loss your going to end up with a ton of data. Appliance Night Out took up 100 GB on my computer before I could crunch it down.
