Can you point me towards how to get the transparent background from AFX
5.5. When I key out a color it shows the background color, and I don't
see an option for transparent background color, so when I render out the
png sequence it has a bg color. Thanks

Actually, I just exported a png sequence with an embedded alpha channel
using AFX5.5, and it works fine... its true a VIDEO file doesn't have
transparency per-se unless you add a mask to it, but you can fake it
with image sequences, just watch out for performance issues as Charlie
mentioned.
