I think I read something about this in an early post but I cannot find it. Can someone tell me how to save a PNG file with a transparent background from AS 5.6(windows)? It won't save out as it used to for some reason?
Thanks

AS 5.5 did save the transparency of a render PNG by default, but somehow that's been lost in 5.6.File / Render / Save As... / PNG, doesn’t create the alpha-channels, unfortunately !

Please add your support to this bug report so someone will take notice and hopefully restore this feature.
I know it's only a few more clicks, but really? Losing features?
I think this is just a... brain fart by Mike. Probably something that was missed in the save options. Remember that AS uses QT for rendering. That "Millions+" option would have to be set "automatically" when saving from a single frame render. It could be he "turned it off" or something.
I know from my experience talking to the programmers who work on Animation Master at Hash that every time you add features there is ALWAYS the possibility of breaking something else or causing new bugs.
Adding features or changing the application isn't like putting a new picture on your wall... it's more like adding an extension to your house or putting in a new bathroom... there might be leaks or bad wiring.
p.s. Not just PNGs, no alpha is saved for Targa either.
