Just a quick ‘thanks’ for posting the solution you found to your problem.

Thanks for the links. I’ll check them out. I actually exported both a straight and a matted (premultipled) version just to see if that was it. In both versions, the area around the “hologram” is transparent but the hologram has lost it’s semi transparency and is 100% opaque.

One thing I’m just now realizing In AE, when I turn off the visibility of the layer below the “hologram”, that’s when the hologram loses its semi transparency. Before it’s even rendered.
With mo layer below it, it’s 100% opaque. So it doesn’t seem to be a rendering issue. Again, I’m really new to AE and Holomatrix, but might holometrix be creating, or precomping, it’s semi transparency for the “hologram” based on the layer below?

Thanks again for your time and thoughts.

Has anyone viewing this post successfully rendered a holometrix layer by itself, with it’s partial opacity intact?

Thanks for responding. Yes, I’ve exported with an alpha channel. The area around the hologram is transparent. My issue is that I’m losing the semi transparency in the “hologram”.
