Hey everyone,

I'm running into a simple problem and need some help. I am creating a caption box just like the ones seen on Pop Up Video. I added scaling effects to it as well. My problem is that I can't seem to export it without the white background composition box surrounding it. Is there any way to make it transparent? I have the transparent grid on in my composition window. I am bringing importing it into FCP. All I need is the dialogue bubble. Any help would be much appreciated.

Are you rendering your file as Millions+ (millions of colors plus alpha channel)?

If you mean is the depth (in render queue) set to Millions of Colors, then yes. If thats not it could you tell me where i can adjust that setting?

can you attach a screenshot of the issue you are having?

try exporting it as a .tif sequence... that will keep the alpha channel and make it transparent.

Here are two images of what I'm talking about. I want to get rid of the white box surrounding the dialogue bubble. Thanks everybody!
