Hi,

 

Can someone help me render my After Exports project as transparent? I used to be able to do this, but now when I try to make a Quicktime file, it's unable to open. I've heard that AE no longer supports Quicktime?


What is another way to render my file (either from AE or through Media Encoder) without us Quicktime?

You should start by using the Output Module's Lossless with Alpha preset. If you are on a Windows machine and you have not updated the preset is probably set to Quicktime Animation Codec. If that is not the setting then just use the Preset. If that is the setting then you will need to pick another codec that supports alpha channels. GoPro Cineform (free and great) is one that does. It also supports a higher bit depth. 

 

If you are completely lost post a screenshot of the codec options available in the Output Module.
