Exporting AfterEffects Titles (with Alpha) to Avid Media Composer 2020
I have created a title in AfterEffects with a transparent background, I have ensured that Alpha channels are selected in the render settings. AE is creating a .mov file which Avid is saying that it does not support. I have then made it an MXF via Resolve -this allows it to come into Avid successfully- however it appears on a black background and is no longer transparent.
Please help.

you might want to ask that in the Avid forum it might be interpreting issue on the Avid side. if you export through After Effects, to make sure you export alpha correctly, export straight alpha, not premultiplied (with media encoder it’s always straight alpha so no worries there). also try importing the footage back to Ae and see that indeed it has alpha.

All of my co-workers use Macs have the same problem since recent Avid update. They are telling me that they can render from AE to .mov wrapper, but they have to link to the files, can’t import. Not sure why it’s different on PC, but I haven’t had this issue yet.
