Just a little bit more information would be hopeful: export format? what kind of animation? Perhaps post a capture of your project.

Hey @JABRSTTR,

Exporting transparent movie

Hi @DAKE, welcome to the forum. You certainly can. All you need to do is choose a image/movie format in the Movie File Out TOP which supports an alpha channel (transparency).

Hi, I’m exporting to MPEG4 (PART 2) format. I input mov file to Movie file in TOP and then tried to export with Movie file out Top.

If you want to use transparency with moving images from After Effect, you have tu use a codec accepting alpha layer and choosing RGB + A in export settings
The main codec with alpha accepted in TD are Animation, Hap alpha and NotchLC.
For NotchLC and Hap, you have to install some extensions.
You can also export from AE to proRes 4444 and then convert it to Hap with Shutter Encoder or NotchLC with Adobe Media Encoder.
You can also use images sequence, as .exr or .png but its quite heavy.
