Need to remove a black background from lens flares or other elements, but blend modes aren't an option—maybe because you're using the 3D renderer or exporting with transparency?

In this quick After Effects tutorial, you'll learn:

- Why transfer modes might not be working
- How to apply the Unmult effect using a built-in preset
