  4. In After Effects Software, it is an important aspect of motion graphics because you are going to want to render out graphics elements to use in a video editing app. • With transparency, you can drag and drop the graphics files on top of your video tracks. • Let’s take a look at how to make happen in after effects software.

  5. Alpha Channel

  6. Video files are made up of red, green and blue channels. • There is a fourth Alpha Channel, but only certain video codecs can include an alpha. • To add a sequence to the Render Queue in after effect software by default it will not include an alpha channel. • It means your graphics will lack any transparency information in the final file. • So how do we properly handle this thing in after effects?

  7. Transparency and Background Colors in After Effects

  8. Let's figure out how to view transparency data inside the After Effects software. • As with the exported files, After Effects by default does not show the transparency in the composition panel. • Instead, see the background color of the composition.

  9. For changing the color • Go to Composition > Composition Settings. • To instantly view the transparency in After effects software, click on the Toggle Transparency button at the bottom of the composition panel. • If you want to view individual channels, you will also find a show channel button to the left.

Select “RGB + Alpha,” then click on OK.

  13. Define where you want the file to output to click then “Render.” • Step 3: Drag and DropYou have a file which includes the corresponding transparency information. • Bring that file in video editing app and drag and drop it over the desired footage.
