Hi,
Is there any way to set up render passes so there's a composite render and a pass with a render layer and its alpha channel? I'm looking to separate the foreground and background and I would like to avoid rendering twice if I can. I don't want to use object mattes/buffers as I would need to render the alphas for each Info Channel pass.

I've attached examples of the output I'd be seeking.

Thanks!

Did you try just enabling the built in save? You should get a 2nd file saved with whatever configuration you setup there.

Thanks for the response!

I did try that. With Render Layer Mask enabled, the built-in save also gets an alpha. I can't seem to get a pass with the background in tact.

I believe you can just remove that alpha in AE/PS so that your background reappears. I do it when I accidentally render with alpha on and just need a flat image.
