This directory contains a list of key names which are used to decode tagswritten by the "mdta" handler. Also in this table are a few tags found intimed metadata that are not yet writable by ExifTool. The prefix of"com.apple.quicktime." has been removed from the TagID's below. These tagssupport alternate languages in the same way as theItemList tags. Notethat by default,ItemList andUserData tags arepreferred when writing, so to create a tag when a same-named tag exists ineither of these tables, either the "Keys" location must be specified (eg.-Keys:Author=Phil on the command line), or the PREFERRED level must bechanged via the config file.
Hi.
I dont know about CC versions of Premiere and After Effects. But I can tell you how animation codec works. Its a codec that makes a quicktime file with no compression, so the file size youre getting with this codec is big in comparison with h264 or png or jpg codecs. If youre looking for a codec that keeps alpha channel info, I would use a Quicktime file with PNG codec for compression. This way, final result will be a really smaller file size with great quality and alpha channel.
Hope it helps.
Good Luck!
QuickTime is the media player from Apple Inc. which plays a variety of different formats of digital video, pictures and audio. QuickTime has moved on from being a simple video clip player to include more advanced features such us the ability to create HD videos, convert media into other formats and watch streamed videos via the player or browser. QuickTime is available for both Mac and Windows.
Apple released QuickTime in 1991 and it was a technological breakthrough at the time, delivering a program that could play videos on a personal computer. QuickTime 1.0 was originally released with just three codecs; they were suited to live action video, cartoon-type graphics and 8-bit images. Later on in 1992 QuickTime was contracted to allow for compatibility with the Windows OS but with limited features. QuickTime 2.0 was released in 1994 and was the only version during its history to not be freeware; it included support to play music tracks and with the later release of 2.1 Apple made the software free again. QuickTime 4.0 available for Mac and Windows was the first to support streaming videos from the web and mp3 playback. QuickTime 6.0 supported MPEG-4 playback and iTunes.
QuickTime 7.0 included the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec which supported HD videos, Core Audio for high resolution sound and updated the UI.
