    Hey all! As the subject reads, I’m getting really frustrated trying to preserve an alpha channel while exporting as an MOV. Did my due diligence by searching the forum for anyone having the same problems as me. I’ve done all the standard stuff: making sure I have a beautiful key to start, exporting UNRENDERED from track V2 in the sequence, Animation Million+, no resizing. So here’s the result: a “semi-keyed” MOV … I reimport to test the Alpha and the clip has green in the corners and halos around the talent – as though I had gone halfway with the keying effects, but hadn’t quite finished yet. What is going on??

    Hey there, Dave. Thanks for taking the time. Believe me, I tried everything!! I even was comparing specs from an identical project completed a year ago. Never have I had this problem before. Anyhow, I’ve gotten to the point where I’ve imported everything into After Effects and am doing the job (effortlessly) over there. 🙂
