Adobe After Effects Transparent Background



After

Media players do not support transparency. The background will always appear to be black. Import the rendered file into any NLE or back into After Effects and you will see the transparency and be able to measure the values of the alpha channel using the info panel. Aug 17, 2011 With transparent backgrounds, remember to size your graphic to the frame size. Right click them all, modify, size to frame. Now they should show up, but beware squeezing and stretching. If they don’t have the same exact aspect ratio, they might distort or shift up down left right.

A dynamically linked After Effects composition with transparency loses its transparency and appears opaque in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5.
