Graphics

I'm trying to export a video clip out of xpression to our NLE's. We're able to export full screen graphics with no problems, but when we try lower thirds, the alpha channel does not export. Is there a way to do this? I have tried changing the color mode to true color + alpha, but that didn't work. I'm using the MJPEG Compressor codec. Is there another codec that will work? Thanks.

Not sure what your NLE is but if it is a Windows based machine you could install the XPression Codec on that Machine and export to the XPression AVI codec.

What I use for Final Cut is an export to images instead of video. Then using PNG Sequence I can export the lower third from the sequencer to a series of PNG images and then import those into the NLE Timeline.

That worked. We're using Edius 6 from Grass Valley. Once I installed the codec on the editors, it worked fine.

Thanks again
