Hello, i have a problem:
I have created one object with Maya ver. 5.
After rendering the file, i obtain the file "object.avi".
When i rendereing the scene use alpha channel (mask).
Is it Correct?
After i import the file "object.avi" in Aftre Effect.
In this moment, i must remove background from "object.avi", for
see under the "object.avi" another background.
This is my problem...

I don't know if it's a good idea to render it out as an AVI. You'd have better luck if you rendered out hte scene as a targa sequance then improt the frames into After Effects. I'm only responding to your call for help, and just maybe htere is nothing wrong with your original approach.

Then again dosn't AVI have some sort of compression ? You'd rather work on it while it's still in it's freshist state wouldn't ya ?

.avi doesn't necessarily have any compression, but i don't know what type maya outputs, or whether maya avi's support alpha.

i would do as the cross says and use targa or tiff stream [depending on how much hard disk space you have - tiff = lossless compression, targa = uncompressed and therefore will load faster in afx]

Hi emar,
AVI doesn't work with alpha channel, 'cause it has flat alpha :)
