Hi all

I have created a morph video. The video is supposed to have a pink background, but when I add the pink background the morph doesn't work.

 

I followed this tutorial: https://youtu.be/cRmKfClMWIE?si=1yzxljNO5dIEL5JR

 

I did choose QuikTime, alpha & RGB and animation as output.... but it still doesn't work.

 

kindly assist.  In other words, I need export the video with another colour background and not the normal black upon creating the composition...

The tutorial link you posted does not point to an AE tutorial. It just goes to an ad for Big Query.

 

We do not know your workflow or how you set up your comp. It takes workflow details to diagnose workflow problems.

The bottom layer in the project has a color fill effect applied to make it white. That is not the most efficient way to make the layer white.

 

To change the background color, you can edit the fill effect on the bottom layer (least efficient), delete the color fill effect, and change the solid layer's color using the Layer menu (a little more efficient), or delete the bottom layer and add a shape layer with .a Color, or gradient fill and no Stroke by double-clicking the rectangle tool (q) and adjusting the color fill (most efficient).  When I'm talking about efficiency, I refer to the time it takes to create the background color and edit it, as well as the render time. 

 

Note: It is bad form to include an ad for a product unrelated to After Effects in your forum post.
