    With a video subject shot against a green screen, is it possible to export a still frame so the just the subject image is exported with the green screen background transparent in PNG format?

    Pick a format that supports Alpha Channels.
    Have you tried ProRes4444?

    Thank you Eric for the suggestion.

    I created a timeline using Prores 4444. I dropped the greenscreen clip on the timeline, used the generator to create a bright white background. Right clicked on the white background to disable it. Exported the still as a PNG and lo and behold the subject image was exported with a transparent background.

    Just what I needed. Thanks again.
