Background: I have created an animation with animejs, using some SVG images. Not knowing how I could render those I have done a screen capture using ffmpeg on a green background. Suggestions on which renderer would be capable in rendering on top an transparent surface would be interesting. What I want: What I would like to achieve is to use the green channel as alpha mask, but it should also do partial transparency while maintaining the input color. Within GIMP I am able to apply color-erase to replace the green background to transparency, ImageMagick is not able to do it. Cinelerra and ffmpeg also seem to mask, but not subtract. An alternative script is capable of creating an alpha for green, but not keeping the original input white, like GIMP. In ./app/operations/layer-modes/gimpoperationlayermode-blend.c the function gimp_operation_layer_mode_blend_color_erase describes the inner working. Could anyone suggest how to achieve this within Cinelerra or first with an external tool? -- Stefan
