Hello,
I am working on something that imports stills into FCP via XML. These stills are exclusively tga's for now. It turns out that FCP seems to know a couple of different alpha types: none, straight, black, or white. Straight is most likely not pre-multplied, black is probably pre-multiplied black, and white is premultiplied white. I have seen FCP guess both black and white for tga's, and the FCP user manual says:
"When you import a still image file, Final Cut Pro identifies the type of alpha channel and sets the imported clip’s Alpha property appropriately."
Only in the case of an XML import it doesn't guess, even if the alphatype tag is omitted.
Is there any way to have FCP guess upon XML import the same way that it does when the user simply drags a file into the project?
Or, how can I find out programmatically if the the alpha is premultiplied?
Thanks,
