MacBook Pro M1 MAX ProRes does not export Alpha

PostThu Jan 13, 2022 11:43 am

Hi there,

since I've got the new verson of the MacBook Pro and the new Fusion version 17.4.3 I realized that I cannot export ProRes (4444/XQ) with alpha channels anymore.

Does anybody else recognized this issue?

Will test it on an Intel machine a.s.a.p.

CONFIRMED: Alpha channels are not exported using the new M1 Max, Intel machine does it. Ouch

I've just run into this issue. Presume you didn't find a workaround on your M1 machine?

Yes! Same problem here. This is a HUGE problem.

you can export to DNxHD with alpha (the save alpha option shows on one of the codecs) - but you have to switch around the channels with channel booleans first, since all the channels get mixed up, including the alpha channel. This is SO BAD.

I reported this back in October, still no fix. I recommend to just take the Fusion comp into resolve and export over there as 444 for now.

I don't get it! Blackmagic? Hello?
This is a MAJOR BUG!

I cannot export ProRes4444 with Alpha from a Compositing app anymore!

It's really frustrating not having Alpha export from Fusion Standalone. Have you reached out to support via email yet? I'll drop them an email today as I'm not sure if they look at these forums.

I have found a similar issue with other software, even direct programming. I wonder if it's an issue with the media engine itself. It's very frustrating and a bit confusing why there is no response to this problem
