    Hey guys!

    I am working on a new project in which I need to create unit animation videos - basically just focusing on one unit playing through a few animations.

    I have accomplished this in the cutscene editor, however I am having issues exporting it to a format in which I can then work with it in Adobe After Effects.

    Ideally I'd like the model to run through the animations on an alpha channel as a background as it will be placed over some green screen work.

    Might anyone maybe have any ideas or advice? :)

    Thanks very much in advance!

    @SympaticoTV: Go

    Actually I think I may have solved it, albeit I would definitely appreciate if anyone else has an easier method!

    I found that Mediacoder can convert the Y4M output to a usable format, I then use keylight in after effects to basically key out the blue background, just like a green screen. It's definitely functional, but yeah - if anyone has a way to export with an alpha channel background that doesn't require converting...that'd be amazing :D
