Oh man this saved me a lot of time in editing the rendered images! I had made a backdrop and set the meshes to not cast shadows on it, and I was going to use GIMP to take the background out of the images and make them transparent. This is SO much easier. THANK YOU!

Great! now I don't have to put green planes to key out anymore!

Five years later and this is still a very helpful video. Thank you.

[BricktowneMedia]

Perfect! Exactly what I needed to know! Thanks for covering this!

[carelpienaar]

Thanks for the handy and short tutorial! I have one annoying problem: If I render a video and edit it afterwards and render it again, the result stay the same as the original one. How do I reset/refresh so that the edited version becomes my final version?

What a great video, helped me so much thanks!

[guy_incognito]

Very helpful and to the point! But what is the best way to render out the separate passes (e.g. AO, Emissive, Z-Depth) and Layers to a single folder? Lots of tutorials on recombining them in the compositor, but not much on exporting to other programs!

[itzleah]

I don't see the film menu.
Help please!
Nevermind, i was supposed to be in cycles

How can you do the compiling within Blender and still animate the transparent background?

[HutorX]

Thx for great video. But im so sad its imposible to render in .mov with alpha. Like i usualy do in Adobe Animate.

[frederickdietz]

and how do you do this in the blender render?

I'm currently trying to export a PNG with transparency. My film is set to transparent, and I can see the checkerboard pattern in the background while in viewport shading. When I actually make a render image, the whole time it looks like checkerboard, until the moment it's done, it converts to black. Any ideas why? I've tried everything, and watched multiple videos, can't figure it out.
