AE not seeing alpha on it’s own exports

[David Johnson]

Yes, good point, Walter.

I was speaking in more simplistic terms of the only file format I can think of that’s usable in any video software and many non-video programs, yet without as much headache as similar file formats like AVI, and with far more control … particularly valuable attributes in the cross-platform world I’ve always preferred.

True, the QuickTime format isn’t perfect, although it probably could be if [1] there were a Chief Codec Officer, along with the CGO, to get them all to play nicely together and [2] it’s development team hadn’t all but abandoned the pro video market that made QT dominant in the first place and redirected attention to the iTunes market.

Unfortunately, it’s been years now since I’ve done anything other than watch others work with programs like Smoke … and rarely even get that close anymore so I can’t speak on the DPX workflow.
