Question

Are you able to export footage with alpha?

Latest Beta.

Using a bunch of presets that I always use.

None of my exports with alpha render with an alpha channel.

Is there a new setting that must be enabled to render the comp with alpha.

I can see alpha in the comp viewer

In export settings I have RGB+Alpha selected.

I’m using my own presets that I’ve been using for the last 6-7 years - none of the test renders have an alpha channel :o

    Thanks, ​@kaczorefx, I’m glad it’s working now. Please let us know if you run into it again.

    Thank you for the repo project on that HDR issue. I’ll make sure it is passed to the team looking into that bug.

    Ok, came in today and the same project with saved render jobs from yesterday rendered fine.

    Sorry, must have been something with my machine :/

    But please, if I have your attention, can you take a look at this

    Hi ​@kaczorefx,

    Thank you for reporting this issue. Some additional information would help us investigate:

    1. What specific version and build number of AE (Beta) are you using?
    2. Do these same presets behave as you expect when used in the current release version of AE 26.2?
    3. Would you be able to share the presets with us?

    Thank you again for reporting this, and for trying out the Beta builds.

    If I switch to just alpha it renders the alpha properly in the RGB channels. So it’s only RGB+alpha that is not working.
