    RGB+Alpha option not available in H.264 on PC

    Posted by John Mark on December 30, 2012 at 7:43 am

    I want to render a graphic with a transparent background in AE CS6. I’m using a PC and not able to render using the RGB+Alpha channel and H.264 format, the option is faded not allowing me to click (RGB+Alpha) when using H.264. Help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    H264 doesn’t support alphas. H264 is meant to be a final delivery codec.

    But why does this option work on my MAC and not PC?

    It doesn’t work on Mac either.

    Use Animation or PNG.
