Exporting text from FCP to After Effects ¿How export with alpha?

[Aaron Neitz]

Just plain white text on black?

in after effects use the layer as it’s own luma matte.

Make sure it is NOT RENDERED before you export. If you render it makes a composite with the empty background.

Hmm…check to be sure that you have nothing (like a black layer, for instance) filling the background (use View>Background>Checkerboard to check this).

I would suggest exporting the sequence as an Animation codec Quicktime and be sure to include an Alpha (millions of colors +). Should work fine.

One way is to add an empty text generator which covers the complete timeline, then export.
