just wondering: does anything as "uyvya" exist? like uyvy with an alpha channel at half the resolution? or maybe even something like uyvyaa with the alpha at full res?

hi,
just wondering: does anything as "uyvya" exist? like uyvy with an alpha channel at half the resolution? or maybe even something like uyvyaa with the alpha at full res?

uyvy-with-alpha-at-half-res

check out the hap-alpha option for the hap quicktime codec, and the jit.gl.hap external.

no alpha with uyvy.

hap is cool but unfortunately no option in my case since i work with frame sequences saved as .jxf-files.

i did however fiddle around with this a little in the meantime and at least in my case this actually does help: i write my clips in an uyvya-fashion to disk (beforehand) and then unpack/pack them into uyvy + alpha when reading. the performance boost is not huge but quite noticable - i guess disk speed is the bottleneck in my setup.

with 720p video a single argb-jxf is 3,7 mb vs. 2,3 mb employing this approach. the fact that the alpha channel is only half the resolution is - at least in my setup - not noticable.

thanks for your quick reply!
