Magic Music Visuals

did this the first time. i usually encode my stuff with adobe premiere, as it's the only program i have that seems capable. for hap alpha, i needed to encode with 32bit depth instead of the default 24bit for it in order to work (this makes sense of course as it's a channel more), however the file size blew up disproportionally.

The 24bit clip is 23Mb big, the 32bit clip 300Mb. Is this normal?

wups sorry, rookie mistake. they dont actually have the same length. 2s vs 20s.

sorry

they're actually 150mb vs 300mb, which still seems odd to me as I think if you add a channel to RGB it should scale up by a third, but who knows, maybe that's the way things are .

I am not 100% sure about this, but I *think* the alpha channel is not compressed, or at least it's less compressed than the RGB channels. So the alpha channel actually ends up taking 3 times more space than each of the R/G/B channels.

hm okay, so everything works as it's supposed to then. i guess it doesnt matter anyway, as long as my ssd can keep up. and if not there would still be the option to make a ram disk.
