Creating animation with alpha channel in Adobe After Effects

Hi Guys

Has anyone had any luck creating an animation in Adobe After Effects to play with an alpha channel through the media player?

I have a wave shaped lower third which I want to animate, but I just can't get smooth edges.

I've tried exporting with the following settings but to no joy

Format - Targa Selection
Channels - RGB + Alpha
Depth - Millions of Colors+
Color - Premultiplied (Matted)

There are two options

1) Alfa in the file (option of export) -> RGB + Alpha

2) Export two separate files -> once only RGB and secound only Alpha.

Im useing that secound method to work with CasparCG for all wraps, bumpers, lowerthirds, and so on.

Hi

I did try the Alpha + RGB, I don't have Casper CG so need to keep it contained to the media player.

Problem I had with that, the edge of the lower third was perfectly smooth - but the rest of the screen had a slight haze over it.

On the DSK I have Pre Multiplied Key selected which I assume is right, as if I untick that, the edge of the lower third goes jaggered edge again.

Im not familiar with ATEM DSK setup. In case CasparCG, you need two signals - one for fill, and one for key - so than in ATEM you setup it acordignly as two dfferent sources.

The DSK is setup with Media Player 1 for source and Media Player 1 Key for key fill - just in the same way when it's setup for Photoshop exports, but I'm thinking maybe what I want to do isn't possible?

what ATEM model you got?

I know that at TVS you can't add clips into media pool. 1 M/E will take clip in TARGA sequence.

Hi

We have the ME1 - although when I say clip, it is a TARGA sequence.
