Re: Alpha Channel help

After Effects huh? Thanks, I'll look into that. See, the original purpose of this post was: I'm attempting to place high quality pictures of faces on top of animated sequences. So, as far as I can tell, I have two options: import a PNG with an opaque background around the faces (which Premiere 6.5 cannot), OR import pictures with a solid green, blue, red, whatever background and remove it with the alpha key. But now that you know what I'm after, my question is: Is there a CLEANER way to remove a background from a high quality pic? This project will be used in a commercial, which is a first for me, so I'm after the highest quality possible with what I'm using. Are there different transparency settings that more effectively achieve what I'm after, or picture file types that are more effecient in Adobe? Any help in this matter would be awesome. Thanks again.
