Rendering question in Maya 2008

#1

Hello to all.

I’m currently in the process of rendering out an animation in Maya 2008. I need to render out seperate layers so I can then take them into an editor (premiere pro). I would like to ask if there is anything I need to do as far as preparing the render so that when I bring it into premiere I can lay them in and see each model (layer), or, will I need to remove the black background so to make it transparent?

I hope my wording wasn’t confusing.

Thank you.

I think the default render settings in Maya is to render with an alpha channel already. You can make sure in the render settings underneath the renderable cameras section to see if alpha channel is checked.
