Rendering from A E to play in Powerpoint 2007 and am not seeing a transparent background

Hi,

Rendering from After Effects to play in Powerpoint 2007 and am not seeing a transparent background in the video. I’ve tried the combos below and included a snapshot of the render queue:

Which (if any) of the combinations should have produced video with a transparent background? Are there additional values for rendering that I need to change; if so, what are they and what should they be changed to?

(Additional info:
– This project was imported from Illustrator (Document profile = Video and Film)
– Applications: After Effects, Illustrator (both CS5)

System spec
Video information: NVIDIA, GeForce GTX 480, driver ver 8.17.12.9573

Comp background is black
Transparency grid is on

2.
Format – AVI

I could be wrong but I am fairly sure powerpoint doesnt do alpha channels.

The higher they fly… the much.

I know that powerpoint supports alphas in PNG stills, so maybe try a png sequence?

Powerpoint supports .avi and .mov file types.

The only thing I could think of that might support transparency in a moving image in Powerpoint would be a GIF
