Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hello-

New to TVPaint. I'm trying to plug it into a workflow that is primarily adobe based- compositing happens in AfterEffects. Eventually, I'd like to have TVPaint completely replace my use of Photoshop- but we're not there just yet- so I'm trying to export a PNG sequence from TVPaint to open in Photoshop to work on.

Except- when I open the PNG sequence that has been exported as PNG in RGBA Mode, Alpha as No PreMult. & background checked OFF, the PNG sequence is NOT transparent when opened in Photoshop.

What am I doing wrong here? Why aren't these PNGs transparent in the other program? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I really really reallllyyyyy want TVPaint to be the program of my dreams so that I never have to open Photoshop again.

• What is your OS and its version : Mac OSX Monterey 12.6

In your screenshot the image shows in the export window with a white background. If it has a white background then it's not a transparent image.

When you export in RGBA mode and there is no background then it should look like this, with just a checkerboard pattern visible behind the image.


Here are my export settings -
Here is how this image appears when I open it in Photoshop:

TY- I'm an id**t. Upon further review- someone didn't export with alpha long ago.
