Clip Studio Paint update

@ animated png

Transparent animated gif 

The last few emotes I uploaded here have all had to have solid backgrounds. I've had no way to consistently output animated gifs with transparent backgrounds because the only piece of software I have that is capable of doing it is an ancient version of Image Ready which isn't even made any more  , and that struggles with some animations producing a garbled mess (it also requires manually recreating the animation from an image sequence which is slow and painful).

Unrelated to Clip Studio but the gif thing reminded me...
I updated FireAlpaca the other day and they have timelapse options to save as an animated PNG!?
I didn't even know that they existed.

There were animated PNGs way back in the Amiga days, it just never took off in spite of the fact they were better quality and gif was a licensed format that cost money.

I've just tried in FireAlpaca and their animated gifs are not transparent either.
Apparently the animated pngs do have a transparent option but I can't prove it cos I don't have any other app that can recognise them after I save it.

 Clip Studio Paint also has animated png and webp 

webp???

Easily my least favourite file format.
I have to open them in Windows Paint to convert them to jpegs.

Web-pee? Never even heard of.

Lucky you.
I bet you've never heard of avif too.
In a way avif is even more annoying but thankfully they're currently much rarer. Webp is becoming far too common for my liking.

I start painting something, look up some reference pics, download them, drag them into ArtRage... Nothing happens. Try again... Nothing happens. Check the file. It's webp.
I then waste time opening up Windows Paint to convert everything.

I'd probably just take a screenshot with the snipping tool (or right click, copy image), of the ref and paste it into my file while I work... But no, never heard of avif either...

Yeah, I'm not a fan either. I normally use this:  vertexshare.com/webp-converter.html (the downloadable app), you just drag and drop a load of files into the window and click the button to convert to jpeg or png (or do the reverse).
