This is what I'm trying to do: Export .png files of a particle sequence composed in 3ds max 11 (this portion is working just fine) take the sequence and compile a video using AE and import in back into 3ds max as a texture...BUT when I do this my BG color is always black. I've tried exporting as this tut instructed, as a quicktime...I've tried lossless with alpha (as well as all the other options just to be sure) and nothing is working... Maybe this isnt possible?? Can someone help me out? Feel free to shoot me an email - TLeonard.gnp07@gmail.com Hi All :)

I rendered it with these settings: format: QT format options: PNG, RGB +Alpha, Millions of colors+ Premultiplied (Matted) It keeps crashing Max. weird! It imports fine into Premiere, with an alpha channel. As an alternative, I rendered a PNG sequence ( you know, with each frame a separate PNG) and that seems to work. But... it's not the way Andrew taught us and i want to be like Andrew cuz he is the coolest.

I export and set to premultiplied and nothing happens! Help! Does it matter if I have the transparency grid turned on?
