AE CS5 render/export text to PS with transparent background for web?

I am sure that this question has been asked and answered one hundread times already, but i can't seem to find the answer.I have tried googling and searching these forums, perhaps i just have the wrong search peramiters.
I am trying to create and animate text via AE CS5 for a web site.I then want to use that in Photoshop CS5. I can't seem to find this option. I know that in the past you were supposed to render the text as a movie of sorts, but now i am just lost and confused on what to do.
If the answer is just too long to post here, could someone please post a link to a tutorial/answer?
I assume the answer will be a little different from CS4 to Cs5.
Thanks.

Well now that you have told me to save with some sort of an alpha channel, it works perfectly.
In CS5:
Select layer,"Composition,Make movie". Then navigate to "Output module" and choose an option that has "alpha channel" in the title.Choose a name for your project "Output to". I now use "lossless alpha".I don't know if that is the best one, but it seems to be working fine.
There is no "Quicktime" option in CS5 as in older versions of AE.
I was trying to save as a video in general or for photoshop and that just wasn't working out well.
I don't know what the "Frames to Layers import assistant" is that you mentioned though. I still tend to drag and drop, rather then import.
Thanks for your help.

  • Saving image with transparent background for web/Dreamweaver

    How do I save a little image, so that the background stays transparent. I already have the image set up in Photoshop with a transparent background and have saved it as gif and png. When I import it into Dreamweaver the background stays white instead of transparent. What am I not doing right, since I read several posts saying that png and gif are the right formats to save in, if you want a transparent background?
    Thanks for any help with this,
    Anne

  • Want to create an oval vignette in photoshop elements 10 with transparent background for printing w

    I am fairly new to PSE and I want to create an oval vignette in Photoshop Elements 10 with transparent background for printing on white paper using MS Publisher. Using the white background on inverse selection makes a slight line impression and either it should have a defined "frame" or nothing.
    Appreciate any guidance.

    Try with the Elliptical marquee tool:
    On the tool's option bar set feather 25-40 px (experiment)
    Drag out the Ellipse to embrace the object
    Go to Layer>new>layer via copy, or CTRL+J
    Your selection should fade out as a vignette and be surrounded by transparency
    Save this layer via File>save for web, select PNG-24, and tick "Transparency"

  • Title with transparent background for FCE

    I want to place my titles over photos and I can't figure out how to export/save them with no background. When I searched the topic someone suggested un-checking "Render Background" in the file requester when you export your LiveType movie. Now for some reason it is not giving me the option to 'Export Movie', only to 'Export Frame'. What's up?

    Live Type needs to Render the Movie, (cmd-R) before you can export the movie.
    Although when you render the movie it gets exported as a .mov in the animation codec which has the alpha channel that allows you to place your titles over photos.
    Of course once you render your movie you can export it in another codec if you like., but you don't really need to for FCE.
    You do need to make sure that you don't render the background though

  • Help with transparent background for the pop up menu!

    Hello everyone,
    I am working on a Web site which has a pop up menu created in Dreamweaver 8. The pop up is over a picture and I'm thinking about to make its background transparent. I'm not really a programmer to be able to do it manually but I'm familiar with JS. Would anybody be able to help me with this? I truly appreciate it.
    I could find the code but don't know where to place it! The JS file is about 700 lines!!! I'm so confused...Below is the source file for the JS that you could download...

  • Creating animations with transparent backgrounds?

    I'm running into some problems when using After Effects to create animations with transparent backgrounds for Keynote...
    I use animated gifs and short quicktime movies with uniform backgrounds as source files, use color keying to take out the backgrounds, preview them to see if they look OK, render the results as RGB+alpha, and... they don't show up as transparent in Keynote. They work in Powerpoint, however. I've tried outputting as .mov, as .gif, as premultiplied vs straight alpha... no joy. Can someone explain (or point me to an explanation) of how Keynote differs from other programs in its handling of transparency? What am I missing?

    Using a TYPE_INT_ARGB BufferedImage worked beautifully. I had played around with Image for hours, but it never occurred to me that BufferedImage would be needed. :)
    many, many thanks,

  • Export with Transparent Background

    I do realize this has been asked again and again.  Just making a reality check. I created a lower third. Time and time again the import into Final Cut Pro was on a solid black background instead of a transparency.
    I followed every post and followed the directions - with no success.
    Finally I exported my Motion lower third as a Template.  The effect appears as a Generator in Final Cut.  When I use the created Generator in my timeline the lower third has a proper transparency and works properly.
    Is that really the only way to import a Motion graphic with transparent background??     Yes, I did try creating a Movie in ProRes 4444, my project does have a transparent background selected, etc.  I feel as if I am missing something.

    Much appreciated  :-)
    I purchased the lower third from Videohive.  It has the basic graphic but lacks titles. While I was watching Motion tuturials, I thought I would customize the lower third with a fancy text animation.
    I tried a few experiments based on what you said.  I see now.
    So it appears that even though my proxy media lacks the alpha channel and does not display with a transparency, the moment I switch FCP to view Optimized/Original media, the transparency works correctly. 
    So I assume I can still use proxy media (if needed) and ignore the lack of transparency until my final render.  As long as I am exporting from Motion using ProRes 4444 it should work correctly.
    Does that reasoning make sense?
    Looking at many posts across the internet, I think this is the very issue that has tripped up many people.
    Thank you for your helpful comment. I was going nuts trying to figure it out.

  • How do i export a flash movie as an animated gif with transparent background?

    each export has the background in it.
    I have looked into the publish setting for gif but no option there, or in the background colour setting in the main design window has any Alpha or Transparency setting.

    Thought that issue went away. The only workaround I found was exporting a PNG sequence with transparency, importing it all back into a better animated GIF exporter like Fireworks as an image sequence and exporting it from there again. It will give you the best quality, control over the timeline, looping and various per-frame AGIF functionality.
    But yes, it's a multi-step headache.

  • How in Illustrator I write text with transparent background ?

    How in Illustrator I write text with transparent background ?

    that is correct. You open it in AI and you have an option to use area text, you first take the text tool and drag to make a text frame, which wors like it does in a layout program. Or you click the text tool any where on the canvas and just start typing if you want to make another line you either hit the return (enter) key or for  soft return use shift/return (enter).
    The default is a transparent background.
    All art i Illustrator is on a transparent background unless you add an object behind other objects that has a fill color.

  • How can I export a file with transparent background?

    Hi all,
    I know InDesign doesn't allow to export a PNG file, but I need my file to be in image file format with transparent background.
    I'm still learning so I am stuck here. How can I export a file with transparent background?

    If you can't get the PNG file export to work, you can export a pdf and open it in Photoshop, from there you can save it as whatever you like.

  • Export with transparent background and opacity

    Apologies if these questions are a little basic , but taking my first steps in motion after playing with imovie , FCE and live type for a while
    I have started to get a rough idea of motions capabilities but a couple of questions still are puzzling me .
    In live type I created graphics , lower thirds etc with an alpha (transparent background) , for use in PIC in PIC in I movie , how do I do this in Motion , everything saved comes up with a background colour despite my canvas being set to transparent ?
    Also opacity does not seem to show up at all , all my saved movies with layers with opacity changes (ie not 100%) show those layers as solids with no fading .
    Any ideas where I am going wrong ?
    Any answers or advice gratefully received with thanks

    When you Share your creation you must select a movie standard with transparency - in Motion 4 you selected any option with Millions of Colors+ where the + was transparency.
    In Motion 5 if you have transparency selected for your background already then when you export select "Current Settings" on the Export drop down selection which is normally default.

  • Help export the graphic with transparent background and not braking the quality

    hi I'd like some help please if its possible.
    I've created a monitor graphic in Fireworks that looks like iMac and I would like to export it with transparent background.
    the jpeg format looks great with no damage to the graphic at all but I can't have transparent background, although I changed the canvas fill to none. the png-8 format can apply transparent background, but damages the graphic.
    Here are the previews
    1st - the png-8 format
    2nd - thejpeg format
    A ny ideas on how I can export the graphic with transparent background and not braking the quality??

  • Export locally png with transparent background

    Is it possible to use Ps touch to remove the background from jpeg images and  export them locally as png with transparent background (reducing the size of the picture)? I would need to use this feature to create more keynotetouch-friendly images.

    Yes. That's possible. You can export a PSTouch project as png to the Camera Roll....and there are other channels as well where this is possible, like  "Share By E-mail" , "Send to iTunes" etc.
    Those options are accesible via the Share  menu (see attached screenshot) as part of the PSTouch project organizer

  • Flash exe with transparent background

    Hi,
       Is there a way to project an EXE with transparent background from flash (only using flash).
    If not only flash,
          then what else should I use??
    As I know there are softwares like NorthCode, Zinc, etc., But all of them affects the script in some way like "fscommand("quit");, loadMovie();" does not seem working.
    What I exactly need is:
      1) Flash projector (EXE as well as APP) with transparent background
      2) I need to loadMovie (call exteranl swfs) into the main projector file.
          "note:The external swfs are FlashPaper files, so I should I have access to API, so that I could resize them, edit UI as I want."
    Thanks in Advance.
    Vinod Kumar.K.V

    from "Render and export a composition as an FLV or F4V file":
    "To include the alpha channel in the FLV output, use the On2 VP6 codec and select Encode Alpha Channel in the Video tab of the export settings dialog box."

  • How do I transfer a .psd file to illustrator that can then be placed in Muse as a .svg with transparent background?

    I just wrote all this up in another thread.  I did not realize at the time that the last post was in 2014, so I'm giving it a go here.
    I am currently trying to create an .svg using Photoshop .psd file (with layers in tact).  I'm new to these products so it may be obvious to others that the above intention was to eventually place the .svg in some sort of website creation software such as Muse.  Which is precisely what I am attempting. However, I am getting a white background once I place or copy and paste into Muse.  My starting .psd has a transparent background without any hidden layers causing this problem.  To test this I placed the .psd file into Muse and it still has a transparent background.  However when opening or placing this file into illustrator, it picks up a white background. If I do exactly as described above, I still get the same result.  So far I have tried:
    1) Simple copy and paste from Photoshop .svg to illustrator to Muse.  Result - white background.
    2) Placing the .psd in illustrator, then placing the .svg file in muse.  Result - white background.
    4) I have also tried the every combination of 1 and 2. - Result - white background.
    3) I have now created a path in Photoshop from the text layer to yet again attempt the above methods.  Result - white background.
    I'm including an image of the object I am trying to place with transparent background, but I have both a flattened rasterized version, a version complete with layers and a third (.svg) with the corresponding objects.  I am completely new to Illustrator as of today so any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
    Link to .psd file "Welcome text"

    I was having some difficulties getting the correct dimensions of one of my objects, I eventually solved this problem without using svg.  It was pretty simple when I stopped trying to over complicate things.  I just linked the object to a near by object in photoshop, merged and placed it all as one.  It looks great now.  Thanks for your reply.  You are correct, SVG was not the answer.
