exporting in AE for Avid 2020.8 with alpha
Hi, in the past i have always exported my AE with alpha graphics as an h264 .mov file for Avid. In the latest AE, there is no H264 option and any .mov file i export, says it can’t be imported into Avid. Any suggestions for how to export in AE so Avid 2020.8 can import it with an alpha?

You can still export as h.264 through media encoder (I recommend mp4 instead of mov). However, H.264 is a highly compressed format with a GOP frame structure – definitely not recommended for editing or applications with alpha. If your projects are higher than 8 bpc, go with something like a TIFF or exr sequence. If you’re working at 8bpc, a png or tiff sequence should do. Make sure to enable the alpha channel in export settings.
