Actually it’s such a common question that I would not feel so bad about it
Their documentation is not accurate so it’s not user error.

Not clear about edit but not all Quicktime codec supports Alpha
You could always render the alpha as a separate Movie

Composition | Add Output Module
Now you have two Output Modules in your render
In the channel entry of the Output Module settings set that to Alpha

Check the RE:Map PDF in the folder where you installed the plugin
It explains how we interpret Displacement. Note as well there is a third channel, a Modulation channel which is in that case optional (however careful, it is in Disp Controls by default off). (Mod Channel menu)

A simple confidence test would be to make a Background the same size as your color source with say Red to 0.6 and Green to 0.4 and then make another image that is a greyscale gradient of some sort. A flat color displacement will essentially just slide the image. Now if you use the Modulation channel you will see what it does. Also make sure your background is 16 bit.

Are you on Power Pc or Mac Tel?

You are not saying in which software you are trying to use RE:FLex but that says, say it’s AE

In AE, you use in a layer AE’s own rotomasks to control warping and morphing. The “FROM” and “TO” will alternate: as in your mask 1,3,5 will be FROM and 2,4,6,… will be TO. So if you do a Warp, you set in UnWarped Mode the FROM mask on the feature you want to warp, you duplicate it to have the same start point and you put yourself in WARP mode and then you move the points to get the proper deformation. The Checkbox to Auto-Hide will show you which one are part of WARP or UNWARP (source without modification).

* If you need to animate parameters (eg work in Frame mode rather then straight constant speed change)

* Another major reason in IFF is that you need that version to work in batch
