Exporting just the model

[MrShandavio]

Hi, all.

 

I work mainly with video, and I use a program called Pinnacle Studios. It supports picture in picture, which is basically overlaying one video file over another. I've found that AM can export animations to .avi, which works fine. I insert a clip I made and then I overlay an animation created in AM. Unfortunately, the animation has a nasty background.

 

When I insert a model in AM, give it an action, and export it as .avi, it always comes out with a blue 'sky-ish' background and a brown/tan-ish floor, and the model will do an action. This presents a problem, obviously, because I have a clip of humans acting and then it's a whole other clip of an animation with its own background, etc. over top of it.

 

I've tried cropping the overlaying video (the animation), but you can still see it. Even adding transparency doesn't help much. I was wondering if there's any way to just export the model on a transparent or overall blank background. It has to be .avi or .mpeg, though, as Pinnacle Studios won't support .gif or .png files (just .jpeg, which doesn't support transparency).

 

Any help would be appreciated. I wanted to have screenshots of what I was talking about, but it wasn't working out. Thanks.

You can delete the ground in Chor. And you can change the background color to any color you wish in the Camera properties.

I can't seem to find how to do either of those.

1. Select the ground in the Chor and hit the delete key.

2. Select the Camera under objects (or in the Chor), Open the properties and its listed there.
