Quicktime on OSX now saves Movies with a correct alpha layer.
Also fixed the bottom-to-top orientation problem which occured
with several (OSX) applications.
When the Quicktime movie output path lacks any path indication, the movie is created in the
executable directory.
Also new, when the Quicktime output movie isn't created for some reason, the rendering will
stop and give an error message (in the console).
Raw fix for the drive letter issue with Quicktime/Windows filenames.
When a drive letter is missing in a filename, it'll use the drive where the executable is.
Fix might be useful for Yafray too, because the extern char bprogname[]; doesn't return
a full path when Blender is started from the console.
This enables Blender to;
- have scenes with different codec settings. (same as avicodec)
- render directly without dialog.
- batch/background render to Quicktime movies.
Only tested on windows. ;)
#include <QuickTime/Movies.h> instead of #include <Movies.h> on OS X to
avoid having to specify the full path to the QT headers in the Makefiles
#undef NDEBUG on OS X to avoid errors about ID being declared twice
enable support for QuickTime in the original Makefiles on OS X
This code allows you to load Quicktime images and movies as textures
and render animations to Quicktime movies.
Note that the selected output codec is *not* saved in the blendfile.
To enable Quicktime functionality you need the SDK from Apple:
OSX: ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/QT6SDK_Mac.hqx
Win: ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/QT6SDK_Win.hqx
Add the \QTDevWin\CIncludes and \QTDevWin\Libraries directories
from this SDK to your build environment.
Enable the WITH_QUICKTIME compile flag in the following directories:
bf\blender\source\blender\imbuf
bf\blender\source\blender\src
bf\blender\source\blender\render
bf\blender\source\creator
