hello,

I have a simple comp of a plane flying around comped in front of a static sky. I rendered this out as .mov and it worked great when I opened it in QT.

However when I imported this into Final Cut, I lost my sky. Someone mentioned that I may have exported the .mov with an alpha...Is there a way to just render the .mov with no alpha just the RGB. Not sure if this will work, but I can't figure out why my sky is not showing up in Final Cut.

Since I created my plane and bg in maya, I'm assuming they are already premultiplied.

My Shake is a little rusty but this should do it.

Attach a reorder node right before your fileOut node. Instead of the default RGBA, reorder to RGBN (N for None in your alpha channel.
