Here&#8217;s what you need to know.<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re new to Adobe After Effects, you may not know how to include transparency information in your exports. This is an important aspect of motion graphics because you&#8217;re going to want to render out graphic elements to use in video editing applications. With transparency, you can simply drag and drop your graphic files on top of your video tracks. Let\u2019s take a look at how to make this happen in AE.<\/p>\n<p>In this video, I reference an Anime Speed Lines tutorial that I produced. You can find that tutorial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/create-anime-speed-lines-after-effects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8nzABjJJcKM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"the-alpha-channel\">The Alpha Channel<\/h3>\n<p>Video files are made up of red, green, and blue channels (RGB). There\u2019s actually a fourth <i>Alpha<\/i> channel, but only certain video codecs can include an alpha. If you add a sequence to the Render Queue in After Effects, by default it will not include an alpha channel. This means your graphics will lack any transparency information in the final file. So how do we properly handle this in AE?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"transparency-and-background-colors\">Transparency and Background Colors<\/h3>\n<p>First, let\u2019s figure out how to view transparency information <em>inside<\/em> the program. As with the exported files, After Effects by default does not show transparency in the comp panel. Instead, you see the background color of the composition. To change this color, go to <em>Composition &gt; Composition Settings<\/em>. To quickly view the transparency in AE, click on the <em>Toggle<\/em> <i>Transparency<\/i> button at the bottom of the Composition panel. If you want to view individual channels, you\u2019ll also find a <em>Show Channel<\/em> button just to the left.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"exporting-with-transparency\">Exporting with Transparency<\/h3>\n<p>When exporting a file from the Render Queue, After Effects will default to the composition\u2019s background color, where any transparency exists. To export with the transparency (instead of the background color) follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"step-1-add-to-render-queue\">Step 1 \u2014 Add to Render Queue<\/h4>\n<p>First, you\u2019ll want to add your sequence to the render queue. To do this, go to <em>Composition &gt; Add to Render Queue.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-110111\" title=\"Exporting Video With An Alpha Channel for Transparency in After Effects \u2014 Exporting with Transparency\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Export-with-Alpha-from-Adobe-After-Effects1.jpg\" alt=\"Exporting Video With An Alpha Channel for Transparency in After Effects \u2014 Exporting with Transparency\" width=\"755\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Export-with-Alpha-from-Adobe-After-Effects1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Export-with-Alpha-from-Adobe-After-Effects1.jpg?resize=300,188 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Export-with-Alpha-from-Adobe-After-Effects1.jpg?resize=277,173 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Export-with-Alpha-from-Adobe-After-Effects1.jpg?resize=359,224 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Export-with-Alpha-from-Adobe-After-Effects1.jpg?resize=543,340 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Export-with-Alpha-from-Adobe-After-Effects1.jpg?resize=560,350 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Export-with-Alpha-from-Adobe-After-Effects1.jpg?resize=150,94 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4 id=\"step-2-include-the-alpha-channel\">Step 2 \u2014 Include the Alpha Channel<\/h4>\n<p>Next, click on &#8220;Lossless&#8221; to bring up the Output Module Settings.
