Exporting Background Transparency

[Rutger]

I had the same problem before, and found that the following solution worked for me.

Just add your composition to the Render Queue (Ctrl+Shift+/).
In the render queue you see “Output Module”.
Click on the yellow template name (e.g. “losless”) just right of the Output Module. This will open up your video output formatting. Your current output maybe set to “RGB”. Change that to “RGB + Alpha”. This will render out an alpha channel with your footage.

Hope that helps,

Rutger

It may also help (depending on your codec) to ensure that your colours are set to “Millions of Colours +” The + refers to the alpha channel.

Also, you may need to tell your NLE to look for the alpha channel – some do not interpret it correctly by default.
