Yes Im aware of that. Ive tested all sorts of files, even straight text doesnt seem to work.

I dont want the JPEG file to be transparent at all and yes it is masked, it is simply a masked image of a van animated from right to left across the whole screen to use as a transition, the van is at 100% opacity. Its the background thats got me stumped. But like I said Ive tried a variety of files. Im going to try re-install FCP+AFX.

Thanks again for your help and sorry to ask such dumb questions.. Yeah the background is set to transparent and like I said its only one jpeg layer which is why its driving me nuts, just cant see why its not working, will keep plugging on and try to figure it out what Im missing! Will be bald by the end of it ha.

Sorry where can you get this magic wand? haha.

Thanks again Dave!

Great, at the moment its 100% white which should explain it, sorry how do I adjust the properties for this? To get it down to 0%? Am I missing something obvious again! haha…

Thanks again.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the response.

When you say double check that I have an alpha channel in AE, what do you mean exactly? In the render settings I clicked RGB+Alpha. The composition only consist’s of one layer, its dead simple (a van crossing the screen), its just a file Im using for a transition through out the travel show, so yeah, its literally just that one layer sitting in the comp. Theres no ‘add alpha layer’ to the comp in AFX is there?

I swear Im losing my marbles as Ive done hundreds of straps with no problem at all!
