flash w alpha into AE?
Posted by Art on August 4, 2005 at 3:47 pmHi, I want to bring a Flash movie with an alpha channel into AE can anyone tell me what the correct interpretation of the alpha channel should be?

August 4, 2005 at 7:19 pmThe correct interpretation of ‘any’ alpha, is the ‘type’ of alpha the file has.
Again, simply try premult and then straight. If neither works, then guess what? You have no alpha in your Flash file and you need to be looking at “How do I output a Flash file with an alpha”,…and not at “How do I interpret a Flash file alpha”.
In the old days, Flash could not output an alpha,…..so you need to make sure it can do that now.
BTW – are you bringing in an swf file? OR are you rendering the Flash movie to a sequence of bitmap frames or a Qtime anim? Huge difference. -

then animate whatever it is your doing..bring it into AE
and just use the keylight plugin to remove
the blue..good luck

August 11, 2005 at 11:19 pmI’m trying to make a movie in AE and then bring it in to Flash as an swf file but it brings it in with a background?
Just wondering what i’m doing wrong?
