yes a file based output using logical record.
when i use after effects and render an object or animation using the .png
and then bring it/them into M8, no problem, it has the alpha background and i can assemble layers of .png files to create my scene and not have to worry about using luma keys....so when the computer starts to lag abit cause ive got lots of objects and fx going on, im trying to now render the scene out to one layer so i can bring it back into m8 and add more objects/layers etc...
only thing is when i use the .png out of m8 it renders the black background...i can tell that it indeed it has the alpha channel and im trying to get it to render my file with no background, just clear...im using m8 2.6.1
when i tried a test and turned down the alpha slider in the master comtrols at the bottom of m8 it started to lose the background but also faded the layers in the scene, making them slightly see thru....
there has to be something im missing like a switch to turn the background off or something??
any ideas or insights, anyone, would be greatly appreciated.
i know most guys just mash layers together with the luma key and blend modes etc. but thats not really what im going for...im trying to maintain the exact color and look of the original artwork/layers.
ill give the animation format a try like you say.
