Ok, kind of sounds like it has been working just my expectation of what working means is off.

Most of my experience is in Poser and doing animation. My normal work flow has been to create the animation series in Poser and then render to a file sequence, normally PNG. Then import that file sequence directly into a layer in After Effects or Flash. In many cases I have a transparent background in my animation layer and then use another layer to provide the visible background.

I have limited experience with Carrara but have been working on an animation that involves a lot of camera movement around the scene. I've found Carrara's abilities in that area to be superior to Poser which is why I was trying to use it there.

It kind of sounds as thought while Carrara can output a transparent background, it requires some additional manipulation in Photoshop or something similiar and may not be completely practical for my normal workflow as I have described it. Is that a correct assumption?

I very much appreciate the help, thank you!
