    Question:
    I can not get Flash video to compress with an alpha channel. However, I can get After Effects to export with one. Basically I am wondering if I can get Cleaner to do this and bypass AE.

    Thank you.

    I can’t speak for the Mac version, but the PC version of Cleaner XL 1.5 only compresses flash video with the Wildform Flix codec which doesn’t support alpha channels (I believe). The On2 VP6 codec does, however you’ll need to use Episode (on the mac) Adobe Flash Encoder, or I use Sorenson Squeeze 4.5 (but you’ll need to purchase the VP6 plugin, or the power pack for Squeeze to do this).

    Honestly, if you can accomplish what you need in AE, just do that. Your other options will include spending money.
