Rednering shadows for AE lights on transparency
I’ve got some 3d objects casting shadows onto a white solid set to multiply, which catches the shadows. All of this is on top of a video layer.
How do I render these out with transparency? When I turn off the video layer under the white solid, the transfer mode turns the solid back to white, and no transparency is present.

Are you planning to use this in an NLE or just as a precomp in AE?
If you’re staying in AE and you put it in a precomp and enable the continuous rasterization switch, everything should work for you just fine.

No, it’s a graphic that needs to be able to be used in an editor.
Can this even be done?

That was a pretty intense post, but I found the response that seems to work.
Using the channel combiner, but because I’m using a white solid instead of black, set “FROM” to MIN RGB and “TO” to Alpha. Then Invert.
Thanks for the link,
