Fade to alpha renders as hard cut

Hi all,

probably a completely noobish question, but I’d be very happy if you could help me out. So I’ve got a little transition for a live event at work. It looks great in the viewer, but when I render it, the fade to transparency is just a hard cut.

I’ve tried different encoder settings, but these should work, no?

I’m using a Dissolve node with the Which value moving from 0 to 1.

Any clues?

Cheers

Check alpha premultiplication.

Also the best thing to do in Natron is to render an image sequence and then use a different NLE or FFMPEG to convert the sequence to a video.
