What format do I need to render my pictures in so that they have an alpha channel on them so the black shows through and the white becomes solid?

Is there anything other than .png? Also If I wanted to make it an animated sequence of just the alpha channels for shadows is there a way to do it?

Thanks

try .rla or .rpf if you want to take them into After effects or combustion and use their added channels for DOF and other channel specific effects, or if you just want a basic alpha file use tifs or targas. You can render individual elements also, checkout Render elements in your help files.
