Thanks, Dave. You’ve bailed me out before…. I figured it out. I don’t understand it, but I figured it out.
And no, it’s not from an even earlier version. AE7 was cutting edge in it’s day, but I can’t keep up.

Thanks, Stefan. I don’t think AE 7.0 has guide layers in the timeline. I can switch guide layers on and off in the render queue, but it doesn’t remedy.

Hey, that did it!
MPEG Stream clip worked just fine.
It was pretty easy, and free, too.
Thank you, thank you, thank you…

Thank you,
Is this only a CS4 function?
I have CS3 (on a mac)
It seems I can only cut and paste key frames from one property at a time,
not the entire layer

OK, that works fine.
Now, when I import it into fcp, I lose the tranparency,
and it brings in the entire composition size background.
Again, I’m trying to create a simple animation in AE, (a still image imported from PS, with a few size adjustments to simulate motion)
Now, when I render and import .mov into fcp,
it brings the entire 640 *480 (or whatever) screen size with it, with a white background.
I just want my simple little animation composited against a video background.
Maybe I’m rendering it wrong??
Thanks for your continued troubleshooting.

Also; not sure what you mean by ‘defining extra alpha channel”
There was an alpha channel in Channels palette. I deleted it, and it made no difference.

It comes up white with ‘interpret footage’ as alpha ignored
Interpret footage as ‘straight’ give me a black backgrpond.
A direct import w/o interpret footage gives me a black background.
Is my AE composition set up wrong? Is there a setting for a transparent background in AE like there is
in photoshop?

Thank you for your reply.
Hmmmmmm.
This is just as I have done. Only transparent background in psd file.
psd is a single, named layer. Have ‘interpreted footage’ as straight, ignored, and reverse alpha.
When imported into AE, sometimes it comes with a black background, sometimes white.
Is it possibly an old app issue? (photoshop 7.0; AE 5.5)
