How to export caption track with alpha?

I have a fully-subtitled feature doc to turnover to finishing, and the vendor is requesting the subtitles as a separate TIFF sequence with alpha. So - how to export a TIFF sequence? I can export the sequence as a separate ProRes file with only the captions, of course, but can I get an alpha channel into that? I presume they can always luma key it, but wondering if it's possible to do as requested?

Yes, the XML conversions were a great method, but this is a big step in the right direction.

Well, this worked a treat. Convert to text, send to ME, export as QT > ProRes 4444 8bit + alpha - worked as desired. Thank you Stan

If you want a tiff sequence you need to send your timeline to AME and export the old-fashioned way.

OK, thanks for that. But what about the alpha channel - is that automatically part of the export?
