Render animation with transparent background
Hi there!
So I have a 200 frame long animation which I want to render using redshift.
The thing is, that I want everything but the actual objects to be transparent in the animation file bevause I’ll import the final render into after effects (not over cineware, cause it somehow looks horrible)
I already tried to set the file in after effects to “screen” obviously but since a lot of materials in the render are glass it’ll loose a lot of details.Does anybody know any fancy rendering options which can help me with that?
I’ve added three pictures:
1) View in C4D where you see a “black” background which has to be tranparent after rendering
2) View of the actual render in after effects when the mp4 is set on “screen”
3) View of AE with the Cineware File showing everything black…Cheers!

You have to render with an alpha. And you have to be sure that the format you are rendering to can support an alpha. This will not generate any “glass” distortion in AE where you can see through the object but it will isolate the objects properly.
As for it looking crappy in cineware, I’m pretty sure you are only seeing what the C4D viewport could generate in AE (for positioning) and you either have to tell cineware to render that frame to see its full glory or let AE render the whole thing.
