UltraKeyed clips work in AE, but not FCP
Anyone know why clips exported from premiere pro
work just fine in after effects but don’t in final cut pro?It seems like an odd workflow, but UltraKey works really great
and I have a fcp project with a deadline that needs some
keyed clips to replace in a sequence.whether I export prores 4444 or animation with 32 bit turned on,
final cut will not recognize the alpha channel.I know its there….if I open the quicktime in finder I see
the background is knocked out and the info says millions+also After effects sees it.
I have tried all of the alpha options in the fcp bin clip properties.
very strange

Just figured it out.
With premiere you have to put the green/blue screen footage on track 2.
Key it out then right click the bin area (where bars/countdown etc are), select “Transparent Video”
put that in track 1, export to prores 4444 (mac only option, with final cut studio installed)import in final cut pro, works perfect.

Man…how’d you figure THAT out? Nice catch! I think you should run out and buy some lottery tickets quick!

Chris, not sure why that worked, transparent video is to be able to add filters above your video, like the timecode effect. It shouldn’t have to do withe exporting the alpha. Are you sure you didn’t just need to change how fcp brought it in. In other words, change the alpha from none to straight or premultiplied?

yeah josh I tried everything.
FCP just would not see the transparency without it.
Doesn’t make any sense (maybe a bug in 5.5?) but it works
and got the clips processed just in time for the deadline. -
Hey, as long as it worked!
