Bug

Photoshop 25.11.0
macOS Sonoma 14.6.1

Open composition on the timeline and select from the menu: Composition > Save frame as...

Render out a 16-bit file with transparency (Tif, Psd...).

Open a Photoshop composition.

Drag the rendered file as a layer in Photoshop or place it from the menu - no transparency available!

Bad. Please fix.

Import and export

I understand the problem. After Effects creates PSD and TIFF as non-layered four channel files. You can find the alpha in channel 4 in the Channels panel in Photoshop (screenshot).

Hope it helps. Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions.

Thanks,

Thank you.

Now that you told me, I remembered this from somewhere earlier. Don't need an alpha channel from AE to Photoshop very often 🙂.

Funny, one would think Adobe softwares would understand each other. But maybe it's just me... [Sarcasm mode off].
