 Hello everybody, welcome back to another Adobe After Effects 2022 tutorial. This one I'm going to show you very quickly how to export with a transparent background or an alpha channel. Very very simple. Let's get going. I'm going to go quickly through it. So just follow along. If you'd like left click on new composition, we're going to just create a custom square 1080 by 1080 composition. Notice that the background color is set to white by default. That does not mean that the white will be there when we render it. Just keep that in mind. You can change that background color. The next step I'm just going to go ahead and type in something like Kingston. That is my dog's name and I'm just going to type that in because I just want to show you the technique. I don't want to get super fancy with it. So let's just go ahead and decrease that size and presto. We've got Kingston and let's go ahead and let's just leave it at that. Now let's just go ahead and render it out. So I'm just going to go ahead and decrease this down to four seconds. You don't have to do that, but I'm just going to go ahead and make the smaller so it renders quicker. I'm going to go to composition, trim comp to work area. So this is now just a four second video. All right. Cool. The trick is right here. Let's go file, export, add to render queue. Now follow along with me. What you want to do is when you're in the comp here, instead of on loss list, this is your default setting, left click on that. When you do that, for me, it's set to format quick time channels RGB. This is where the magic occurs. Keep the format as quick time, although there are other formats, but quick time works just great. And now change the channels from RGB to RGB plus alpha. When you do that, that means that the background will be transparent. It will not be the white background that we see left click on. Okay. All right. Good. I'm going to go ahead and call this Kingston. So I just left clicked on the name and I'm changing it to Kingston and I'm going to render it to one of my files to my folder. So there we go. Nice and quick. Here we go. Let's go into teaching, which is where I left it. And you'll see here, Kingston.mov, it's an MOV file. I'm going to go to this here and I'm going to show you that I've already done it for a different one. But just in case you weren't sure, I'm going to go ahead and delete that. This is a video of me just talking and doing some comedy. Let's go ahead and drag and drop Kingston.mov on top of this. I'm going to bring it into Premiere Pro and this is not a necessary step. It is just to show you the technique works. I'm going to drag and drop it into the timeline and then presto. You're going to see the type or the text there. Kingston is there. There's no background color. The Alpha channel was rendered with no background. That's how you do it guys. Thanks for watching. Ton more stuff coming up. Stay tuned.
