that's alpha.

I got it to work. I thought I had selected "millions of colors +," but had inadvertenly only selected,"millions of colors."

thanks for the help eveyone.

I don't see PICT as being an option. JPG yes. Tried it as a QT Animation but still no luck.

I don't think I have a background layer. it appears to only be a bone layer. I'm using the sample from the tutorial called Winsor 45 and importing it into Apple Motion (compositing program).

thanks!

thanks, but i'm still having a problem. the background color and the animation character are all on the channel. how do i separate the character so i can place him in any background when I export.

thanks again.[/quote]

I'm new to anime studio pro. I am trying to export a qt movie with an alpha channel. it gives me the option, but when i export the file there's no alpha. any help or tutorials in this regard is really appreciated!
