saving pngs with transparent background in capture>movie

Post by joleenf »

Hi,

It seems that only kmz files can be saved with a transparent background using the Capture>Movie command. Is there a way to make this possible for a sequence of image files saved as pngs?

It is possible to do this through a script, but that may not be the desired method for many users:

Hi Joleen -

Thanks for the feature request. I have written this up as McIDAS-V Inquiry #1323.

http://mcidas.ssec.wisc.edu/inquiry-v/?inquiry=1323

I took note in the inquiry that it is possible to save an image (via the View->Capture->Image menu item) as a PNG with the 'BG Transparent' option selected.

Thanks -
