    Posted by Martin Reuben on May 26, 2006 at 9:49 am

    I need to produce green screen footage that has an alpha channel for a large project. Over 200 scenes will have to be shot. Current software is FCP but I can’t figure out how to output the footage with the apha channel. Can this be done?

    Is there better software or a plug-in that will make this project flow a little better?

    Thanks,

    Martin Reuben

    FCP does not export with Alpha Channel. After Effects does.

    What you could do in FCP is simply export a Luma Mask of the shots by simply filling your key with white. The editor on the other end would simply use that mask to make the key.
