Importing pictures with and alpha channel

[Matter]

Hello!

I have created a 3D animation in Cinema 4D and am trying to import it into Flash 4 with the background being transparent. I have tried importing it as a Quicktime with an alpha channel but I dont think Flash 4 recongnizes QT's with alphas (unlike programs like Premiere) I have tried bringing it in as individual PICT images with an alpha channel yet it is not recognizing the PICT format. Off the top of my head I cannot think of any other file formats that are able to contain alpha channels. And I really dont want to bring them in as GIF images with a certain color punched out as the image quality decreases dramatically.
So if any body as any tips, or info on what I can do different please let me know!
Thanks!
Matt

Have you tried PNGs?

Cinema 4D does not export images as PNG. I could bring them into photoshop and do it then save as PNG but a movie at 15 fps ads up pretty quick when you have to edit each frame.

Well... Only other thing I can suggest, is to download Bink, here:

It's mainly a compressor, but does include a converter... And you could use batch processing to try (I just did a test on my version and it works!) to convert bmps or jpgs to pngs. Worth a look!

You want to download The RAD Video Tools and not just the player!
