Hello! I've been through the help files and done a lot of searching on the net. I wish to render a video from 3DS MAX with an alpha channel so that I can use the video in premiere. Does anyone know what format this is possible with? Thankyou.

cord474: did look but it doesnt come up with anything of use; I will be exporting each frame as a tiff then putting each frame in premiere. Not ideal but I cannot find another way. Thank you anyway
