    File – export

    under the Video/Audio tab
    change compressor pull down to animation

    under the Output tab
    if the, “current project and canvas settings” is checked, uncheck it
    and make sure Color pulltab has color + alpha

    export file

    Good Luck

    How about this…File – Export – then under the export preset pull down, choose lossless + alpha movie.

    BTW what program are you importing this file into?

    Hopefully this will work

    Good luck

    that didn’t make the globe export with a transparent backgrnd! This is crazy I can’t figure it out!! I need to count to ten. I’m just goin to turn into a flash video and put on a web site. Once I mask it off it looks like it is right and then when i ex it isn’t right. What do I do….it was a istock globe video and then put into motion 2 for maskin!Thanks

    the trainin vid was sayin what u said but I had the transparent on not the color on the canvas. So it had no alpha to take out. So I set it bak to color and it worked. I think him explaining made me put it back to color!Thanks!!!!!
