    I have a problem to import a video with Alpha Channel in After Effects.
    I have the latest version of AE. Importing the same video in Premiere give me an Alpha Background, so the Alpha exist. Import in After Effects give me the video without the Alpha (Yes, all options are right, alpha is Straight/Unmatted etc…)
    Someone know the trick?

    Have you tried putting something behind the video? Some screenshots of your interpret footage settings and viewport would help.

    Does the video have any keying effects that are applied in premiere to key out the greenscreen? Those would need to be rendered out before the alpha channel would be “baked” into the footage. Just wanted to rule that out before you go crazy trying to figure it out. If that is the case just rekey in after effects or make sure the footage was rendered with an alpha channel.

    Wait, are you saying you keyed the video in Premiere Pro and you want to import it into After Effects?
