Actually, I think I should have asked what codec you are using. I know when I've tried to export something with an alpha channel, I have to be careful which codec I use. I don't have access to a Mac, so I don't know if Prores lets you put in an alpha channel. Just make sure that your color depth is millions+ and you should have the alpha. But, to tell you the truth, Scott, I've never seen a video player that gives the checkerboard pattern for alpha. Usually, it's just a black screen.

QT animation and Prores... I was hoping there'd be some player that would give you maybe an alpha toggle button or something like photoshop's checkerboard view to indicate alpha...

What file format are you using? Some don't have alpha channels available.
