"MOTION BLUR" NOT WORKING WITH TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND

[scarlet]

I AM ON WEBTV AND HAVE A DETAILED PROBLEM OPENED ALREADY OVER ON THE INTERFACE GROUP.

ALL OF THE INFORMATION IS THERE
BOTTOMLINE:
WE CANNOT OUTPUT A TRANSPARENT GIF USING "MOTION BLUR" ON IT

THE END RESULTS COME OUT ALL BLURRED UP, IF AT ALL

IT USED TO WORK FINE.

Magick,

see viewtopic.php?f=5&t=15590

I have tried to get it to work (even importing a transparent png) and cannot, though I am no expert on Magick Studio. Can you verify, please?

Thanks

Fred

Try choosing "All" from the Channel pull-down menu. That is the equivalent of -channel RGBA.

[fmw42]

I did that and it still did not work.

[magick]

Try now.

tried at http://studio.webbyland.com/ImageMagick ... Studio.cgi

loaded a transparent png
selected annotate with blue Arial text which displayed fine
selected effects, got error message

Request failed due to malformed query:

It works for us. Perhaps it was a cache problem. We wiped the cache. Try again.

still getting the same error message at the point where I select the effects tab. Am I using the same Magick Studio web site as you were?

Request failed due to malformed query:

No such file or directory


Running on Mac OSX Tiger in Safari. Tried also in Firefox, but got the same error message there too.

Yes, it works there just fine. That should now work for Scarlet.


Thanks. Seems like many of the mirrors have older software that either do not work or cannot find the imagemagick.org version or cannot find anything.

Question: Am I missing something or is there no way to create a constant color image? Do all images have to be uploaded. For example, I could not find a way to create a transparent image for use in this test and had to upload one.

To make a transparent image, set your image size in Size, choose a format of xc, set the Meta field to none, and press view.

Thanks that works.

But it might be nice to add a comment in that section to point out that constant color images can be created there as well. And indicate what parameters need to be set. What stumped me was where to specify the color, which is typed in the Meta field.
