Hi,

What am I doing wrong when I cant get the shadow catcher to work, I am using a IBL (why is it turned inside out?). I have activated the Alpha in Settings and Diffuse and Matte on the material.
And does this also transfer to the PNG when I export for Video?

Thanks in advance.

I think I have been playing inside the settings on what render pases to render. Is there a good manual for this section anywhere?

Tick Matte on the material assigned to the surface that is rendering the shadow. The shadow will be black, and the non-shadow area will be invisible.
