Beginning of video

Do you guys notice this checker board pattern as first frames of some videos? Is this something wrong with the video, or just a loading type screen?

You have a very sharp eyes :)

I'm a strange person.... little things like this drive me up the wall, because I get paranoid I did something wrong on all 1600 of my previous clips hahah

Soon .PNG+ clips will look like this:

Search for https://www.pond5.com/zh/stock-video-footage/png-alpha.html and you'll see more such clips.

404 on the link, Scott.

That will be great! It will be nice that PNG+ is distinct from the other formats.

The time lapse tulips are amazing, nice work!

fixed the link.

I'm seeing it on everyones... they must have done something on their end (p5)

Zygis wanted his clips with alpha to show this in the preview so now pond5 FLV previews are using alpha (the VP6:es at least). It is true alpha so it would be possible to alter the background on the fly. We'll do some tests with the animation codec too and regenerate all of those previews if the tool chain seems to understand it the whole way.

Scott: The video added event in flash fires not necessarily when the video has been added it seems. I had a few flash-frames delay before adding the grid. I changed so it also will alpha in the grid, giving the impression everything is under control. A lie of course, you're never in complete control in Flash - it's one of those stochastic vm:s out there.

Thank you Marcus for completing my 'request' in so short time! I asked you about this on May 3th and after few days of testing it is ready!
AMAZING!
