mov or avi transparency

[aotemp]

Hi,

Im trying to find a way to convert a single color in a mov or an avi
file into a transparency. I looked at
http://developer.apple.com/documenta...uid/TP40001187

but since I am new with the quicktime api, Im a bit lost.

If you have ever solved/failed to solve this problem, please give me
some guidance
!

The Apple Quicktime API has nothing to do with the C++ lamguage. Nor
does mov, avi, video transparency...

You should seek an Apple Quicktime API newsgroup, forum or mailing list.

well, since this is something that should be accomplished using an api
in C++ (so it does have SOMETHING to do with C++), that this would be
the proper place to post, seeing how quicktime api is not a group as
well as transparency is not a group.

I figured that there would be some intelligent developer out in this
group that may have worked with the api, and that perhaps they would
share their knowledge with me.

Since you insist that off-topic is cool, heres how you do it:

wxBitmap MyPic(TheImage_xpm);
MyPic.SetMask(new wxMask(MyPic, *wxBLACK));

Well, you're wrong. This newsgroup is about the C++ language, and the
libraries shipped with it.

There are countless APIs written in C++, this is not the place to
discuss them. There are various reasons why, and it's not because we
can't be bothered.

First (ish) link was here:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/quicktime-api

An archive for a mailing list dealing specifically with the quicktime
API. I suggest you try asking there.

it has about 2 members. It seemed that someone on this list may have
had some experience with the libraries, so it seemed like a good place
to try AFTER trying that group.
