I've seen a few very confusing posts here about this so I'm going to ask this in the most straightforward way possible:
I have an animation project open in After Effects. I have made a short animation in Photoshop, which I want to import, and place into my project in After Effects. The character in the animation I want to import has a white fill, and a transparent background around him. I would like to retain the transparency of the background, as well as the white fill within the character.
Can any of Photoshop's video formats embed transparency? What format would the animation need to be for After Effects to recognise the background transparency? (I know I can multiply in AE and place a white fill layer underneath, but I'm wondering if there's an easier way).
Probably an obvious question, I'm a Photoshop veteran but an AE noob, so forgive the potential ignorance. Thanks
