[gerardm44402407]

I have a small project using After Effects and I am using transparent images. There is no black background in my composition yet when I produce the video it has a black background. How to I make a transparent video

When you render you need to choose the Lossless With Alpha preset in the Render Cue or dig through the presets in the Media Encoder to produce a video with an alpha channel. All media players will show black where there is transparency. Only a few codecs support alpha channels. None of the typical delivery options like H.264 MP4 support alpha channels. The only way to use the alpha channel is to import the rendered video into a program like After Effects or Premiere Pro that supports and will use the alpha channel in video.

Thanks for your response. I actually went on the Adobe help chat and they showed me how to do it. Pretty much what you said. thanks
