Under SCENE> SKY

turn off visibility... the eye

Good to know thanks! I'll try that on my next project...

I have tried to export Popvideo and re-load in CTA, it does work have the transparent background. You can refer method.

I ended up using the built in Ultra Key Effect (green screen) that comes with Premiere. Lots of tutorials on how to use this. Make sure you add a solid color behind your animation and don't leave the default grey or won't work.

You can always try the FREE TRIAL of Pop Video.

Thanks for the reply but that didn't really solve anything. That video is so fast I can hardly tell what's going on.

At about min 3:30 he has the MOV file in after effects and using a plugin called key light that does something to the background and makes it go away. Now what??

Also, I am using an external editor, Premiere. Here is how it looks when I drop the video into the timeline.

Hi, You can refer this video to remove your background.

Another way is export sequence PNG Images in the external video editor.

I'm having the same problem and these are my settings.

Rendering to PNG, AVI, hidden objects unchecked. The only thing in my scene is a single character according to the the scene manager but I still get a grey background every time I render.

Why?

I don't really understand the problem you are having. If you are on a PC you can export Sequence Image PNG and you will get a transparent background. Obviously if you include a background in your scene then this will be rendered too. Try with a new project and just add a character. Then give the character an animation and render to Sequence Image PNG. You will find all the sequence images have a transparent background.

Well, I've done it successfully on my Mac version, so I'd be astonished if you can't do it on your Windows version.  (From memory, I had to choose the "Apple ProRes 4444" video codec.)  The output formats are different on the Mac version, but the one common feature I wonder if you've missed – I missed it initially – is to turn off the Render Hidden Objects checkbox.  (I had been using a placeholder for positional work, which I merely hid once I was finished.  It was still exported.)

In case you've missed it and it might help you, the manual has this to say about exporting.
