Activity Forums Adobe After Effects creating my own pre keyed footage

  • creating my own pre keyed footage

    Posted by Robert Kennedy on April 20, 2009 at 4:11 pm

    After keying my footage, I want to render it and export as a file that I can use in a new project on AE or send it to someone I’m working with as pre Keyed footage.

    I always see people offer this service, but I can’t find a tutorial on how to do it.

    Thanks.

    add the comp to the render queue (composition>add to render queue). then click the output module and choose for the video output:

    channels: rgb + alpha
    depth: millions+
    color: straight (unmatted)

    for more info on the output module settings, check the manual. also, this tutorial may be quite helpful:

    Hi Kevin,

    What’s the best format for output and smaller file size? Rendering in Quicktime doesn’t seem to allow rgb + alpha option. Am I missing something?
