  creating my own pre keyed footage

  Posted by Robert Kennedy on April 20, 2009 at 4:11 pm

  After keying my footage, I want to render it and export as a file that I can use in a new project on AE or send it to someone I’m working with as pre Keyed footage.

  I always see people offer this service, but I can’t find a tutorial on how to do it.

  Thanks.

  add the comp to the render queue (composition>add to render queue). then click the output module and choose for the video output:

  channels: rgb + alpha
  depth: millions+
  color: straight (unmatted)

  for more info on the output module settings, check the manual. also, this tutorial may be quite helpful:

  Hi Kevin,

  What’s the best format for output and smaller file size? Rendering in Quicktime doesn’t seem to allow rgb + alpha option. Am I missing something?
