  Auto-trace > solid layer > render > Pr

  Hi,
  Im kinda new to AE so I may have gone wrong along one of the steps.
  I autotraced the outline of some people in videos to a new solid layer and on that layer I got the yellow anchor points and outline and could see the transparency within the mask. (see pic) (I want to be able to have a photo in the background with the mask moving around (white surroundings)
  

  However I need to do some editing inside premiere pro to match things with music and to make a video.
  I wanted to render the masked layers with the transparency into premiere and have set the settings to rgb + alpha, millions of colours, lossless avi (and quicktime), premultiplied colours. But the videos just come out plain white with nothing on them. both in premiere and vlc player.

  Any help would be very much appreciated.
  Thanks
  Luke

  ah thanks, but I was trying to render the solid layer instead of the composition. Got it at 3 in the morning. Silly mistake.
  Thanks for the response though, I wont be using players to check transparency in the future. much appreciated.
