Re: premultiplied alpha

From what I understand, premultiplying has nothing to do with poorly keyed footage. You would normally use a premultiplied alpha, as oppose to a straight alpha, for previewing purposes mostly (and also to save on calculations during compositing in some specific instances).

Thank you
