 Hello everyone, welcome back to another Adobe After Effects 2023 tutorial. I'm going to show you how to render a video with a transparent background. Let's just start from scratch. Composition, create a composition, black background. Doesn't matter, we're going to show you all the steps here. First step, click on Finder, drag and drop in a PNG. I use PNGs, you can use TIPS and other things. I basically want an image or a video with a transparent background. I'm just going to put that on now. I'm going to put that on the timeline and there you go. We got Nicholas Cage looking all scary and crazy as he does. Now to make sure that you have a black transparent background and not a black background, just click this button here, toggle transparency grid. That tells you that we have a transparent background when you see the white and gray checkers so to speak. Now all you need to do is you want to just, well let's just animate him, why not? We're just going to hit the P button and I'm going to animate his position just so you can see it and I'll just move it two seconds to the right here. Okay good, so we've got a two second animation. Now file, export, go to render queue or add to render queue. And when you do that you'll see a few options. The one you want is under high quality. Click on that little down arrow and then you're going to see one that says high quality with alpha or lossless with alpha. That's it. You can select either one of those. I'll go high quality with alpha and then just hit render and then it renders it and it has a transparent background. That's all there is to it. Thanks for watching.
