Regenegade Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I am trying to transition over to Affinity Photo and Designer. I work with video. One of the formats that is commonly exported from QuickTime Pro is the .pct format. I am cannot currently bring that format into Affinity Photo and would like to see this format supported. (I tried to attach a file for you to be able to see what I am talking about but the uploader said that I could not attach that type of file.)

Hokusai Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Regenegade, Hello and welcome to the forums. I'm not a video guy and so I don't know but as a graphics guy coming from the advertising/design/pre-press world isn't the .pct format a little old? I was surprised to hear that it is even still used. When I think of .pct, I think of Classic (OS 9 and before). There isn't a newer file type that you can use? Just curious as I have no idea about video. Best regards, Hokusai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markw Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Yes .pct is getting on a bit now!One workaround would be to open the .pct file in Preview first and export from that as a PDF and then open the PDF file in Affinity P/D.Another possible option if you are often dealing with uncertain legacy files, is maybe have a look at GraphicsConverter here: http://www.lemkesoft.de/en/products/graphicconverter/There’s a trial version and the paid is not too expensive.

Affni Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Another workaround is to use the older quicktime player 7 to export a picture-sequence. In this case you get jpg-files. I use this method to retouch a range of complicates frames which are not suitable for batch handling. After manual cleanup I import the frames with the quicktime player 7 and have a clean video But in general I agree that PCT-files should be accessible via Affinity Photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
