Export Movie with Transparent Background

I created a lower third from a PNG with a transparent background. I brought that into FCPX and animated it. Now I want to export it and create a movie with a transparent background so I can use the animated lower third in other projects. I can't seem to find a way to make the movie's background transparent. How do I do that?

Thanks, Happy New Year!

That did not work for me, is there anything else that I can do? For example in AE you have to select the checkerboard alpha button, and export in mov, do I have to press any buttons before rendering ProRes 4444?
