EXPORT TRANSPARENT Background VIDEOS in Premiere Pro CC | Alpha Channel Tutorial

EXPORT TRANSPARENT Background VIDEOS in Premiere Pro CC | Alpha Channel Tutorial

In this video I show you how to export a video with an alpha channel to create a video with a transparent background. This is useful when creating titles, graphics, lower thirds, animations or keyed video assets that you tend to use over and over in your videos, like for branding purposes. By exporting with a transparent background, you can now just import those files like any others and easily place them over your footage in any/all projects. I will also show you the settings on exporting a transparent video in Adobe Premiere Pro, including 2 different export presets that you can use as well. Timestamps are below:

2:46 How to Export 2 - ProRes 4444
3:10 Playback Error
3:25 Back in Premiere Pro

I have been having problems with this for the last hour and have watched several videos and none have helped.... until this video. THANK YOU!

[classzedits]

i love what you shared because i did sometthing like this once (for lower thirds) and when i played it i get that codec message and it can't play. so far, you're the only one who explained and clarified that the coded error is not a problem. thanks for this info.

Outstanding work! I got so sick of having to wait an hour plus for the motion graphic to render, when I know my render time for the length of videos I typically do is about 10 - 20 minutes! Thank you so much!

Man, You Solved My Problem. I was Too Worried About How To Solve This Problem When We Get The "Video Codec Is Missing" Error.
Thank You, Man!

Tried to export a video like this with black background using the Alpha channel like you described, but it did not work. Is there something that changed for the 2022 update?
