You can use a menu to set the current selection to the source alpha. Then you could just turn on the mask and your auto drawn paint strokes would be masked by the source alpha channel. If you use path masking you'd get some softness since the complete nib of the brush gets drawn in this case at the edge of the mask. An alternative approach would be to turn off the mask and use Path Start conditions like the Inhibitor set to Select Region Only. So this way your paint paths always start in the alpha selected area but the paint strokes can spill out.
In the Process movie settings dialog you can set what you want the output alpha channel to be generated off of. You could just pass through the source alpha. If you want the paint strokes to generate alpha in the canvas as they draw then you need to make sure the canvas preference that turns on alpha drawing for the paint synth is turned on,and you would want to turn the alpha view on in the layers window, and then you'd want the canvas alpha to be used to generate the embedded alpha channel in the output movie (as opposed to using the selection or the source alpha).
another question though - studio artist seems to have pre-matted (which I believe also means premultiplied?) the footage, is their any way to export a straight matte? Is their any way to just export the alpha channel?
