Either give us a checkbox on this prompt that says "Do not ask again" or get rid of it altogether, because it doesn't accomplish anything.

Remember to double-check the project bit depth before you render. Just make it a habit.
Problem solved, and no needless whining about AE shortcomings necessary.
Unless, of course, you have short-term memory problems. That's a different issue.

jackthegiantslayer Feb 9, 2017 11:01 AM (in response to Dave LaRonde)Thanks for the patronizing response, but were it just myself complaining I would refrain from "whining". When you are on tremendously tight deadlines in an insanely fast paced NYC animation studio, you don't need one more hiccup in your workflow.

jackthegiantslayer Feb 9, 2017 11:06 AM (in response to Dave LaRonde)P.S. Sometimes it takes folks collectively whining in here to get Adobe motivated. Considering I had to wait two years just to have a workable version of this software on my Retina iMac (while continuing to pay for it) I don't have a whole lot of faith that my suggestions or bug reports are even being heard.

I can assure you though that they are heard. I have had a chance to meet with the guys on the AE team a few times and met the people who look at those bug reports and feature requests. They are taken very seriously. They are quite passionate about them!

Ben U Feb 17, 2018 11:27 AM (in response to Dave LaRonde)For embedded alpha channels, I prefer Pro Res 4444. Sometimes I am working in 8-bit imagery on purpose, as 16-bit footage will give you a slightly different look depending on the filters and blend modes you're using. Combine that with a need for an alpha channel, and it's an intentional choice that AE drops a warning for.
