Blending Modes in PNG Export

Hi all, I have an extremely basic question (I'm very new to Illustrator). I've purchased an .eps stock image and have gone into Illustrator to isolate it from the background to use as a .png element in After Effects (about the extent of my AI knowledge so far). However, the layers all have varying degrees of transparency and different blending modes, so when I turn off the background layer, it throws everything out of whack. Is there a way I can export some version of the image without a background and retain how it's meant to look? Sorry for the total newb question. 🙂

Might be easier for you to bitmap the imaeg in photshop, adn thaen add yor white layer there. Clipart is often not built cleanly or logically, Since you are going to AE bitammping should not be an issue unless you are zooming in, then bitamp at a higher resolution.

Yes! The bottle just needs a white shape behind it, If u can merge a copy of the shapes using pathfiner and put it behind the bottle it should look how the original does.

Thank you so much for your reply! Again, extremely new here, so I'm a bit stuck again. I did manage to use Pathfinder to merge the shapes, but how do I apply that to create a white shape behind the bottle? I tried just drawing a path to create a white-filled shape, but doesn't appear to have any effect on the resultant bottle when I isolate it for png export. I really appreciate the help!
