Arnold not rendering transparent background

Hi all,

 

So I've been having a problem for a while, where when I render out tif, exr or any other multi-layer from the arnold render view it renders out with a black background. 

Sometimes when I'm lucky it works but I can't figure out why it won't default to this.

 

I've tried saving as render sequence, maya render view and arnold render view but none of these work.

 

No skydome just regular area lights. 

With skydome and camera set to 0 it still renders out black. 

 

I've also reinstalled and updated to all the latest versions of Maya and Arnold. 

 

Is there maybe a setting that I am missing? I've rendered on many other computers before and usually there's nothing to it really. 

 

Could it maybe be because I am using a student version?

Hi!

Please don't confuse Transparency (png) with Alpha (tif).

Tif files have an alpha channel like your "correct" rendered image.
