Thanks for the reply Dan!
That may work but I’m unfamiliar with the AE object model.
I’m looking at: https://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/pdfs/aftereffectscs3_scripting_guide.pdf
and not sure where to find the Path Object. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks again,

Bob

Found the answer. Maybe this will help others importing After Effects into Vegas Pro:

Once you have the file in Vegas, right click on the footage and go to properties. Then select the “media” tab and go down to the field labeled “Alpha Channel” and select the appropriate option for the alpha channel…usually “Premultiplied (dirty)” works fine.

Hi Great Szalam!

Although that seemed to be the fix, I still must have something wrong.
I’ve rendered using the QT RGB+Alpha and am still seeing the composition’s background color covering my underlying video when imported to the other system.

From my somewhat greenhorn perspective, it seems like there should be a way to set the background alpha to transparent, or turn it off completely. I’ve been searching for this, but getting the terms right is a little tricky

How do you make the surrounding background in a comp invisible?
I think that would solve it.

Thanks again!
