  • Particle Illusion SE: Exporting Without Background

    Posted by Dominic9 on November 13, 2006 at 2:08 pm

    Hey, when using SE in the past, I have expoted with a blue or green backgroung so I can colour key them out when using Adobe AE and Premiere Pro. I never have brilliant results though because despite how hard I try, I always end up losing some of the particles of the animation when Im keying out the blue or green, which spoils the end result. I know you can import footage into SE and export that as the background but this isnt very usful when I need to do multiple compositing in either Adobe AE or Premiere Pro. Please please please help!!! Thanks, Dom

    You can export TGA files with alpha channels from SE as far as I remember (don’t have it installed right now to check). If the TGA file type isn’t available from the dropdown list, just type the .tga extension after the filename, and it should work.
