Thanks Dale,

Interesting that this had never been a problem in the past.  Strangely this morning, I did a render at 16 bit for a frame and it worked. Then I said, well let's try 8 bit again and now IT works for a frame.

The PNG sequence did not work at 8 though but DID work at 16.

I think it depends on the bit depth of the PNG.  8 and under, non transparent.  16 and above = transparent.  Just a guess though.

Yes and I've tried it that way and separately as Alpha and or RGB and neither got the transparent BG.

Do you have RGB+Alpha selected in the render quo?

Hello,
I must be having a brain fart or something.  When I create a model or anything really in AE, with no BG, I thought I used to just render as a PNG file or sequence and I'd get that transparent background.  That's not happening now.

Can someone help jog my memory here?

Thanks,
Eric
