If it's the same as mine (which it appears to be) it should be "Straight(Unmatted)" as the second option.

I tried "Straight(Unmatted)", and to my suprise it failed once more.

This may sound stupid... but if you are using Premiere 1.0 or higher, you should have keying filters. Have you tried cutting out what you need in the video and setting it on a background that has a solid color that does not appear in your source and then keyed it out in Premiere?

Your saying to key out the ''black parts'' so the video underneath shows through?

That would defeat the point of this because I can just do all the work in AE and export the whole thing ready to put in my editing program.

well for transparent background. I Use HuffUV and all the other settings you have. Lagarith didn't work for me so try HuffyUV. Then you import your file and set the transparency to "Alpha Channel" and it should work.

I had to change the transfer/blending mode to ''ADD'' and it worked.

So can you detail what you did, Hydrax? ^^;

In AE I used no compression with RGBA for the export. When I overlayed the video in vegas I set the blending mode to ''ADD'' and it showed through.

How do I set the transparency channel to alpha in adobe premiere? I'm confused. T_T And a little new.

Right-click on the clip in the timeline and select its Transparency options. One of the drop-down menus on the window that comes up should be for transparency mode.

Or, if you're using Premiere Pro, the alpha channel should be handled automatically.
