Alpha channel showing black background

Hello... I'm importing a logo from Photoshop that is on a transparent alpha channel. It looks fine in Photoshop... no background (other than the checkerboard). When I bring it into Final Cut there is a black box around the logo image. I have tried reverse alpha, switching between straight, black, white, none, etc. with no result. Does anyone know a solution? I am, of course, on deadline.
Thanks

There is a huge section of the manual and hlp system devoted to successfully moving stuff from PS or CS2 to FCP. Depending on how well you can drive PS, there are many ways to lose the alpha information or to just fail to export it properly. You're going to find it is a simple user error but it's impossible to even begin suggesting stuff from here. The first thing to check is that your file is RGB, not CMYK. Are you exporting a format that supports alpha? If you open the file you exported back into POS, what does the alpha do?
Stick with it, you'll figure it out. Try another route , try another file.

Alpha channel showing in preview

If I import a .psd file that has an alpha channel, it shows in the preview. Does anyone know how I can eliminate the alpha channel in the preview. iView has a specific option for this but I can't seem to find anything similar in Aperture.

You have to open the .psd file in photoshop and add a empty channel as the first one in the channel list.

Flash Player 14 : FLV alpha videos have black background!!!

Please correct this bug.
All flv videos with alpha are now played with a black background. It's work with all previous Flash player versions...

Is that the reason why I can only view youtube right now? I can't view anything else even after clean instal. system restart and everything.

Animations show black background only after compiling in DPS

Hi Everyone,
For my iPad app I've created several animations using Edge Animate. In Edge CC I've made the stage background transparent and in InDesign CC I've checked the transparent background checkbox (see attached two images).
When I preview the app on my iPad using Adobe Content Viewer it looks great. However, when I compile the app using Digital Publishign Suite, download the .ipa and load it onto my iPad all of the animations have a black background.
Thoughts on why? Solutions?

OK, my testing:
I took your original OAM file and placed it in a pdf article (v30). It played with black background. Then I modified the container frame opacity to 0, and it played correctly, as in Bob's tip. I suspect a bug in OAM into DPS placement machanism, especially that you are not alone with the problem, as confirmed by Bob's post. It seems that the container frame, even set to color "none" in InDesign somehow gets the RGB 0 0 0 atribute during rendering. When I tested it with transparency of "none" set to 50% the result was a 50% grey background.
I also tried another solution, which I used several times already with non-Adobe packaged html5 files with proprietary extensions.
After changing the extension from .oam to .zip and expanding the archive you get a folder with all needed files inside Assets subfolder. All you have to do is create a frame in InDesign, select web overlay, and point to zonemap.html file inside zonemap/Assets folder.
Without modyfing anything in the Edge animation, the result is correct.
Cheers, Tomek

Automator or Applescript using png files with alpha channel

I have hundred of png files with alpha channel.
I want to suppress alpha channel.
How can i do it using Automator or Applescript ?
Thank you very much.

You can use the free command line image processing tool ImageMagick in your Applescripts or Automator workflows, as well as from a Terminal shell.
You can download ImageMagick from http://www.imagemagick.org, but Cactuslab has simplified installation by putting together an installer package. It’s available at http://cactuslab.com/imagemagick/. Download the package and double-click on it. Follow the instructions to install. It will install ImageMagick into /opt/ImageMagick and add it to your $PATH by creating a file in /etc/paths.d/. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
The two ImageMagick commands we’re concerned with are “convert” and “mogrify”. Convert is more efficient for multiple and piped operations on the same image file, and mogrify is more efficient for batch processing. Generally speaking, convert will output a file separate from the input file. Unless a path is specified, mogrify will overwrite the input file with the output file. An important distinction.
You can perform various operations on the alpha channel using arguments after either the convert or mogrify command. Two of the available arguments are:
-alpha off - Disables the image's transparency channel. Does not delete or change the existing data, just turns off the use of that data.
-alpha remove - Composite the image over the background color.
Also of use are the -flatten and -background options:
-flatten - overlay all the image layers into a final image and may be used to underlay an opaque color to remove transparency from an image.
-background - sets the background color.
Start off using the convert command with a single image to see the effect and adjust to your liking. Once you’ve achieved the desired outcome, then use the mogrify command to batch process the chosen images.
Before getting into how to use Automator or Applescript in your workflow, use Terminal and the command line to see the effect on a single image. Copy one image to your ~/Desktop. In Terminal change the directory to ~/Desktop by typing the following command and pressing the Enter key:
cd ~/Desktop
Then choose the option you are looking for, -alpha remove for instance, type the following command and press the Enter key:
convert input-photo.png -alpha remove output-photo.png
You can check the alpha channel (transparency) and background in the Preview app, go View > Show Image Background from the menu bar.
Once you’re ready to batch proces, place all the photos you want to convert with the same command into one folder. Copy the folder to your ~/Desktop. Let’s assume you’ve labeled the folder “InPhotos”. It’s prudent to manipulate copies in case something goes amiss. In that event you can copy the folder with the originals again and start over. Create a new empty folder on your ~/Desktop and call it “OutPhotos”. Let’s also assume your home directory is called “Me”. The following command will process the photos from the InPhotos folder and put them in the OutPhotos folder:
mogrify -alpha remove -path /Users/me/Desktop/OutPhotos/ /Users/me/Desktop/InPhotos/*png
According to Apple Technical Note TN2065:
"when you use just a command name instead of a complete path, the shell uses a list of directories (known as your PATH) to try and find the complete path to the command. For security and portability reasons, do shell script ignores the configuration files that an interactive shell would read"
So, you need to use the full path to to ImageMagick commands, unlike in the shell where you can just use the command name.
To batch process using Automator, use the “Run Shell Script” action (note: retain the single space at the beginning of the last line):
/opt/ImageMagick/bin/mogrify \
-alpha remove \
-path /Users/Me/Desktop/OutPhotos/ \
/Users/Me/Desktop/InPhotos/*png
To batch process using Script Editor (Applescript), use the “do shell script” command:
do shell script "/opt/ImageMagick/bin/mogrify -alpha remove -path /Users/pd/Desktop/OutPhotos/ /Users/pd/Desktop/InPhotos/*png"

View photoshop alpha channel

I am working with Final Cut Pro 5 by Larry Jordan, p. 402, Creating a Traveling Matte. He says to double click a tiff file and load it into the viewer. In the book the transparent checker board appears behind a white snowboarder in the Viewer. (It is a traveling matte we are working on using the three video layers.) When I double click it to put the tif into the viewer, it is black behind a white snowboarder, not the transparent checkerboard he shows in the book. Needless to say, what he describes as working does not work since I have black instead of transparent showing in the Viewer. Is there something wrong with this tif file or is there a setting somewhere that will let me see the black area as transparent? I tried changing the type of alpha channel from black to white to straight to none. Nothing works. Is there some other setting in Final Cut that will let me look at the area behind the white snowboarder as transparent instead of black in the Viewer? The book is trying to put a video inside a graphic image of a snowboarder. V1 at the bottom, V2 is the tiff, V3 is another snow scene.

You are correct and I really appreciate your answer. However, I also found that I had to delete the tif file that was in the timeline when I double clicked the sequence to put it in the timeline. (The author said to double click the sequence and load it into the timeline. V2 was the tif.)Then I had to drag the tif file from the browser to replace the tif file I had just deleted. Then it worked. Somehow there was an error in the material on the computer. The book is terrific, but somehow this tif file that was in the sequence was changed when I put it on my computer.

Create Photoshop stil with alpha channel?

I'm using dvMatte Pro3 to strip out the green screen.
I'd like to be able to generate a Photoshop CS4 file with the alpha channel, so that I could composite the background in Photoshop, but I haven't been able to get that to work.
Is there a way to do this, or do I generate a matte along with the still and layer them in Photoshop?
BTW - I've also had a bit of trouble directly taking a sequence of a freeze frame out to a Photoshop CS4 file. It creates one using 'Export using Quicktime Converstion', but it is only 100k and not a valid Photoshop file.
I've had to create a new freeze frame from the sequence (with my background rendered into the shot), and then export this freeze frame (not the sequence) using 'Export using Quicktime Converstion' to get a workable Photoshop file.
Always interested in a better method?

You won't. The foreground contains the alpha channel. The background is what appears behind the alpha channel
Here's what I've done.
1. Strip out background in FCP7 with dvMatte Pro. The sequence contains a single freeze frame I wanted to output to Photoshop.
I am assuming your clip is a person standing in front of a green screen and you have keyed out the green. That leaves an alpha channel in the shape of your person.
2. Render sequence.
this is probably the mistake you are making although FCP6 and 7 were said to have fixed the export issue. You are attempting to export a rendered sequence. The matte has been filled so there is no longer an alpha channel.
3. As I've been unable to export the sequence to Photoshop (just creates a 100k file that is not a PSD), I take a freeze frame of my render.
I still don't know what this means; telling me the same thing twice is not an explanation so I will disregard is irrelevant.
4. I select this 'freeze frame' and Export using Quicktime Converstion, set the type to image, set it to Photoshop and to Millions+.
All you are doing is exporting a full frame of video. It has no alpha channel. but even if you separated the two video layers, your background plate still has no alpha channel that contains any valid information. It will appear completely solid white if you viewed it using the alpha button in the Canvas.
5. The resulting PSD has the background stripped out, but it is black, not transparent. So, I'm obviously doing something wrong?
Possibly the 'freeze frame' I create is not in 'millions+' - so when it is exported there is no alpha?
I'm totally lost now, why do you care about the foreground? I thought you wanted the background with an alpha? Are you looking at the alpha-only view in Photoshop?
I take full responsibility and apologize for not being able to see through any translation errors that are creeping into our discussion. Like most Americans, I only know English (and enough Spanish to be able stay out of trouble at a Mexican restaurant).

Printing swf error (no alpha channel?)

Hi,
I don't know if this has been covered before but I have tried the following:
Printing to PDF via the print menu from the swf
and
Printing to paper via the print menu from the swf
In both cases, the images that are on screen are PNGs created as a PNG sequence from After Effects. They contain alpha channels and the background of the swf is non-white. However the bounding box of the image gets printed as white, so I have a sequence of overlapping white regions, some of which occlude the image beneath. With alpha channels on the monitor, this is not apparent, but when on paper or in PDF format the occlusion is clear. I don't mind the white background; however I cannot deal with the occlusion. How can I solve this?
Sincerely,
-markerline

Eureka!! That works better than a vacuum cleaner. Only problem is I was using the AS3 reference and some of the PrintJob examples that were listed threw errors so I had to use the final example:
package
    import flash.printing.PrintJob;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    public class BasicPrintExample extends Sprite
        var myPrintJob:PrintJob = new PrintJob();
        var mySprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
        mySprite.graphics.beginFill(0x336699);
    mySprite.graphics.drawCircle(100, 100, 50);
        public function BasicPrintExample()
            if (myPrintJob.start()) {
            try {
                myPrintJob.addPage(mySprite);
            catch(e:Error) {
                // handle error
            myPrintJob.send();
I did away with the package and the class and just called the function as a mouse event for a print-button. I'm not sure why the if(myPrintJob.start()) call works because nowhere am I declaring the print job to start. I guess that's something that happens automatically?

Minumum sufficient commands to create PSD containing transparent alpha channel

I was recently typesetting some leaflets in InDesign under time pressure. I had a JPG file with a white background and wanted to create a PSD from it in Photoshop CS5 with an alpha channel making the background transparent.
I managed this in the end by blundering around, but the help file is no help, and the obvious way of creating a layer mask doesn't work.
I'd like to know the minimum sufficient command sequence to do it.
Suppose we've got this in Photoshop, with the bit we want already selected:
Double clicking the background layer and then clicking ADD LAYER MASK looks good, but it doesn't create an alpha channel. It actually creates a channel named "Layer 0 mask" but if you save it in a PSD and then import into InDesign it is not transparent.
There doesn't seem to be a "convert layer mask to alpha channel" command. Nor a "make alpha channel from selection" command.
There is a button at the bottom of the CHANNELS tab that's named "create new channel" and if you click it when a selection is active it does create a new layer named "Alpha 1", but unfortunately it is not the wanted mask but rather just the path of the marching ants.

Yes, this does work. Don't know why it didn't for me yesterday.
There's no need to delete the background because in my example, after unlocking the padlock and adding layer mask, there's only one layer there. It does create, as I said above, an additional channel named "Layer 0 mask" which is what one would want as an alpha channel.
If I SAVE AS PSD, the box to include LAYERS is ticked and the box to include ALPHA CHANNEL is greyed out, but InDesign still treats it as transparent.
If I take the selection and SAVE SELECTION AS NEW CHANNEL, it creates a second channel looking exactly like the "Layer 0 mask" one above, but if I then SAVE AS PSD the box to include ALPHA CHANNEL is ticked. So the channel created by ADD LAYER MASK is of a different ilk than the one created by SAVE SELECTION AS NEW CHANNEL, although this is not apparent from the CHANNELS tab. Slightly confusing.

Exporting an Alpha Channel in speedgrade cc

Can I export an alpha channel from speedgrade back to premiere pro cc, for compositing after color correcting my actor?
Thanks

QuickTime Pro does support alpha channel masks.
Open the file in QuickTime Player Pro and select 'Window>Movie Properties'.
Go to 'Video Track' and click the 'Visual Settings' tab.
If the file contains an alpha channel, a black and white image should appear in the bottom left of the Properties box. This is the mask, or alpha channel mask.
Click on the image. A blue line appears around the image.
Select 'Edit>Copy'.
Open Preview and select 'New from Clipboard'.
The mask can then be saved as a PNG, TIFF, PICT, etc.
The saved mask can be attached to other images. In Properties, click the 'Choose' button and select the mask.

Exporting a move clip with alpha channel

Hi there,
I’m trying to export a move clips with alpha channel.
I’m trying to export an animation with Premiere CS5. I made an animation of a rotating object in Maya and exported it with alpha channel as tiff images. Then they are edited with Photoshop to give them a drop shadow.
My problem is this. Can I export this tiff animation with the alpha channel?
My plane is to use move clips over backgrounds in a game – depending on the result there are different animations playing on top of several different backgrounds. There for the objects has to have a transparent/alpha channel over the backgrounds.
Again the reason for this is the complexity of the game and to make the game looking as real as possible. I’m hoping for some help here to make my plan possible
…thanks

Thanks alot for the help.
But now I’m wondering how to get the file size down?
The 32bit and alpha channel just increase the file size from about 1MB to 9,3MB, which is pretty much??
…any ides mate?

Captivate and Alpha channel video insertion black background

I have been trying in vain to insert a green screen video into a Captivate presentation. I used Serif MovieMaker5 to export the video as a ".mov" with the chroma key as a transparency. It works great if I want to overlay the .mov format file over another video in other SW platforms, but when I run it through the "Adobe Media Encoder" (AME), the background ends up black. Importing it into Captivate just ends up with a black box containing the subject of the video on top of the slide.
I think I've tried every setting in the AME with no luck.
I've seen this problem elswhere on Adobe forums, but I haven't seen a solution. Why the black background after encoding with the AME, and is there a setting I have missed? Do I need to start from a different format...say .AVI, but the output doesn't give me an option for a transparent or alpha output. The problem seens to be with the AME, but I don't know for sure.
Any ideas? I'm using Captivate 5 and the Serif, MovieMaker 5 editing SW. The output seems to work everywhere in the ".mov" format, but not when converted to .f4v by the AME

I actually solved the problem by trying to use the Adobe Media Encoder (AME) on CS3. CS3 only codes in ".flv." It worked fine! I also noticed in CS3 that there was a check box for including an "alpha channel." I could not find one in AME CS5, but there was an "exclude Alpha" box. So I looked, and I see that the AME CS5 was exporting the file as ".f4V." For some reason, my installation defaults to .f4v, and it never occured to me to change to a ".FLV" output. When I did, a box to "include Alpha" appeared, and the video works just fine.
One of the issues was that the format was listed as "FLV/F4V" on the "Source" screen. I just assumed that, since FLV was first, that would be the default output. I never looked at the suffix of the converted file. Shame on me! I was also surprised that the default was F4V, since FLV is more common, and F4V is supposed to be an improved version.
CP GURU Wrote: I don't know "Serif MoveMaker", but isn't it possible to export to FLV / F4V directly instead of .mov? I normally use Adobe Premier or Adobe After Effects and here I can export an FLV/F4V with an alpha channel that works well in Captivate.
Unfortunately, the Serif MovieMaker SW does not output to "Flash." It's one of the better of the "inexpensive" video editing SW offerings. Since I am only making short training courses, quality isn't a big concern. The big thing is that it be easy, and have chroma key capabilities. It is, and does, and I'm happy with it. I would love to have "Adobe After Effects" (AAE), but the cost can't be justified. I am seriously thinking about a cloud subscription, but the eLearning suite is not included, and I'd rather spend my limited budget on upgrading to eLearning CS6.
Thanks for everyones help!!!!!!!!!!

Photoshop CC is not showing save "Alpha Channels" to be checked!

This hasn't happened before! As in... it didn't happen as recently as yesterday.
I have a 3 layer image, 2 of them with a large transparent area. I will be importing this into After Effects.
It allows me to check "layers" but not to preserve the transparency. "Alpha Channels" is greyed out.
When I import into AE, even in the media browser the transparency is gone. The transparent area is now black. Ditto when I drag it into the composition canvas.
Mode = RGB, 18 bit
When I import the files from yesterday that *did* preserve the transparency, they still keep the transparency. So I know it's not a problem in AE.
This is where it gets super weird. When I take yesterday's file, open it, and try to save it under a new name -- TODAY IT DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO CHECK "ALPHA CHANNELS".
What have I done to take this option away?

HOLY CRAP -
Indeed, I did not have that.
So I added a channel, and it automatically showed up as Alpha 1...... and my whole image turned red.
When I turned off the image channel, it went back to normal.
Am I possessed?

Alpha Channel Not Showing On Video Clips

I have imported several video clips that I know have Alpha Channels, but when I import them into the timeline/sequence, the ALPHA Channel is appearing as a black background. What am I doing wrong or what setting should I check??

There was a known issue that I noticed over a year ago that was discussed in this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4831495#4831495
AFAIK it was never solved, but I haven't updated to the latest version of Premiere because of all of the bugs (cough cough)

Getting rid of black fringe when using anti-alised alpha channel

I want to take images rendered in Lightwave 9.3 into Photoshop CS2 for compositing. If:
1. I render objects with antialiased edges over a black background, and then
2. save out the alpha channel for use as a layer mask in Photoshop
I get a black fringe around the objects resulting from the semitransparent pixels of the antialiased edges revealing the black background in the base image.
How should I avoid this problem to get clean antialiased edges?
Thanks.

One of the few uses of the Image>Adjust>Brightness/Contrast is choking or spreading Alpha channels. Go to the channels palette and play around with the Alpha to see what happens. Bear in mind that you may want to load the channel as a selection (or not), invert the selection (or not), Modify the selection to expand or contract... (or not), etc, etc.
The point of all the "or nots" is that there is more than one way to attack this. Your willingness to experiment will determine whether you succeed (or not).
Here's a before and after:
