Hi,
Could someone please advise on this issue:
I have rendered off a set of PNG files with Alpha from 3DS Max with a view to creating a transparent background video. When I import into AE the background is transparent (toggle transparency grid works). I have also created a heat haze effect in the AE file using an adjustment layer and red/green particle layers (if you are familiar with the tutorial).
If I play in AE or scrub the timeslider the chequered background is there and the heat haze is there.
I used the following settings to render from AE:
Quick Time video
PNG Codec
RGB + Alpha
Millions of colours
Straight
The resulting QuickTime mov file has a black background and also shows the red particles layer from the heat haze (behind the main scene objects).
Q. I am sort of guessing that it is the haze/particle layers that are producing the black background in the final video. Is there some setting for the haze/particle layers somewhere that I am missing? Or is there another reason?
I am not particularly experienced in AE so don't be afraid to state the obvious!
Many thanks,
T
