Re: [Avid-L2] Generating a credit roll with seperate alpha channel pass?

You can usually really easily deliver a matte for any Avid key effect,
including titles.

Simply put the title on the timeline twice. For the first copy (the fill)
just remove the Title (or key) effect and you'll be left with a Straight
fill layer, then with the second copy you can open the effect editor,
promote the effect to 3D, then under 'Foreground' there wil be a 'Show
Alpha' option - that creates the alpha pass.

Definitely works for Title Tool titles, also for Marquee I believe.

The only thing to watch out for is the black/white levels of the alpha clip
- I believe it will show 16-235 levels, but the recipient may be expecting
"full swing" 0-255. Should be possible to make that happen by nesting in a
Colour Correction or Colour Effect.
