I rendered it premultiplied, and checked the files again in Photoshop and After Effects, there’s no indication that After Effects has done anything strange with the files, and a mouse-over doesn’t indicate any wavering, it’s a solid value of 255.
The problem is- as usually is the case with such projects – I have to be 100% sure that the problem doesn’t lie with any error from my part, so that the debugging can start at the programming end of the project. From your reply I think I can conclude that whatever is making black areas semi transparent happens in the software, and isn’t in the original file…
I will also deliver some graphics rendered straight and see what happens. Also, I realized some of the black values were very black, and I thought maybe that was giving problems, so I rendered them out where the RGB doesn’t go below a value of 16 (good post on broadcast safe!) Could that be the problem?
thanks anyways for the tips, I’ll do some more testing here.
