Create an advanced lightning effect and then export to transparent PNG sequence

Hi,
I am new to AE, so please be kind
I need to generate a lightning effect and then export the frames to several PNG images.
I figured out how to do the lightning and how to export transparent PNGs, but I can't get rid of the lightning solid background (which is balck in my case).
Do you have any advice?

Toggle the transparency grid in your comp to make sure that you are creating an alpha channel.
When you render set to the output module to RGB + Alpha and Millions of Colors + and set Color to Straight.

  • I create a document in pages and then export it as doc or docx file. I then email or place the file in a drop box. When another computer opens the doc or docx the photos in the document are randomly scattered. What is the solution?

    I create a document in pages with photos. I then save it and I also export it as a doc or docx file. I then email or place in a drop box the doc or docx file. The other computer opens the file in Microsoft word and the text remains in place but the photos are randomly scattered throughout the document. What is going wrong? How do I correct this problem? I really don't want to go back to a Microsoft machine.

    That assumes two things:
    1. That Apple would have let Microsoft have access to its file format.
    2. That Microsoft would want to spend the time and trouble to write filters for file formats that Apple can't be bothered doing for its own software.

  • Workflow for marking clips and then exporting them out as individual clips with audio?

    Hello,
    I'm just starting to use Prelude.  I recorded an interview for my daughter for a school project last week.  The interview went well, but I want to mark as "sub-clips" all of the video interview's question/answer combos (e.g. "What is your name?  My name is John Doe.") and then save them out to individual clips rather than have to manage the full size files (about 40GB in all from my Panasonic GH3, 50mbps, IPB MOV) with clip markers.  I'll keep the originals as backups, but would really rather work with the individual clip files.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!  I would think this would be a very simple and common function.  Basically, just dividing up the original video into multiple, standalone video clips with the same bit-rate, encoding, etc., but with new headers/EOF markers.  Just chopping the original files up into chunks with no changes or reencoding necessary.  If I can do it the way I imagine it, it should be a very quick process, at least compared to transcoding the files.
    Best regards,
    Scott

    Hi -
    Meg The Dog's suggestion will work if you don't intend to bring in all of your media off the card.  The Partial Ingest method will allow you to selectively create subclips during ingest and not transfer the full original clips.
    However, you do state you plan to keep all your media - not just the parts you want to subclip. So here's my suggestion for the workflow:
    1. Ingest all your media from your cameras (the entire clips - not the partial clip method)
    2. Open each clip from the Prelude Project Panel and create your Subclip Markers using Prelude logging tools.
    3. In the Project Panel you will find new entries will appear for each SUBCLIP Marker you add to your master clips.
    4. You can organize you subclips into BINS as needed to keep track of the segments of your video
    5. When you're ready to create your timeline of subclips you can either
       5a. EXPORT all the SUBCLIPS into their own files (select all subclips you want to export and use the FILE->EXPORT->MEDIA menu command)
       or
       5b. Drag-Drop your subclips into a ROUGHCUT in Prelude to order your story. Then use the SEND TO PREMIERE PRO feature to send the Rough Cut into Premiere pro where you can finish your edit. All the media will come along for the ride into Premiere Pro (including your Subclips). You can then add titles and any effects easily enough in Premiere Pro).
    There are some other options here you can also try out which might be interesting. For example, you can add transitions and any additional audio tracks to your ROUGH CUT directly in Prelude and then EXPORT the Rough Cut as a final movie - and not need to move to Premiere Pro unless you have wider editing needs.
    Hope this helps!
    Regards,
    Michael

  • Fill in form created in Adobe 8 (Mac) and then trying to send out from PC with adobe 9 pro

    I created a form using adobe acrobrat 8 pro on a mac (everything works and we have used in the past).  I need to send it out from a PC which has adobe acrobat pro 9.  I can open the form, view it and use the distribute feature (via email option).  Then I send it out and when we test the completed form coming back to the email on the PC (using a submit button option), it opens the PDF file, you can view the filled in data on the PDF however the dialog box that normally opens asking if you want to download or import the data does not appear, not even the form tracker dialog box appears - nothing happens.  You can't seem to do anything with the data from the form.  You can only view it. We need to be able to collect it in one file, and then export to a CSV.
    Is there some compability issue between forms created between two platforms, and two different versions?
    Am I missing a step on a PC.  I am not very familiar with a PC's and it doesn't seem to be as drag and drop oriented as a mac.
    Do  I need to rebuild the form on the PC using adobe acrobat pro 9?

    Please post this in the Acrobat support area, you'll get a better answer!

  • Can you edit AVCHD movies and then export them as AVCHD losslessly?

    As the title suggests, is it possible to create an AVCHD project in iMovie with AVCHD files (1920x1080 60p) edit them and then export them losslessly with a new Imac? I know of only one program that can do that and that one doesn't allow anything other than simple cuts & trims. You can't add music or any sophisticated editing.

    No.

  • Can I make a document in pages on my iMac and then export it too pages on my Ipan?

    Can I make a document in pages on my Imac and then export it too my Ipad in pages?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Sure you can, just create the document in pages as you always do on your Mac, once it is complete, drag it to the Pages section at iCloud.com on your web browser. It will then sync to and be available in the list of documents when you open pages on your iPad.

    Why I can't change on the settings ,I cloud ,advanced l, mail and then email address there I can't change ? Help please?

    You can't change that address by design, but Apple allows you to create another two addresses and use instead they call those aliases and you can create and use those different for different people with the same account. Instructions here

  • Importing 16:9 into FCP and then exporting it

    I have currently got alot of 4:3 video files that i am editing for web use. The flash player that I have on my website is 16:9 widescreen.
    Do I have to convert the 4:3 before i import and edit? or can I edit in 4:3 and then export in 16:9 widescreen and which way will keep the best quality?
    Either way what settings should i have in FCP
    Many thanks in advance
    Nobby Clark

    If you use distort and scale it will wreak havoc with the quality.
    You are in Oz so you are working in PAL with 4:3 video clips that have pixel dimensions of 720x576, right? What are the dimensions of your Flash player's window?
    Edit the clips in a 4:3 FCP Timeline. Use a superimposed letterbox mask to help you reframe the image below it vertically. Take the result to Compressor, crop the mask off and generate your Flash files.

  • Subtitle workflow. Is it possible to import srt files into premiere and then export to Encore?

    Hi, I'm editing a series of short documentaries that wil be published in DVD with subtitles, and I'm wondering if there's any way to import srt files into Premiere and then export the project to Encore.

    You can easily (and better, IMHO) do what you want in Adobe Prelude.  It's part of the CC subscription, and may have been included with CS6.
    Open the Ingest panel, navigate to the external drive where you have your source clips, make the thumbnails in the Ingest panel comfortably large, click a video clip to enable scrubbing, and use the J-K-L keys to navigate playback through the clips.  Put a check mark on the clips you want and be sure to select and set up the Transfer option on the right side of the panel before ingesting.  Don't select the Transcode option.
    Cheers,
    Jeff

  • Can I create a site in Illustrator and then import it into Muse?

    Can I create a site in Illustrator and then import it into Muse? If not, why not?

    No, you can't and it kinda defeats the purpose of Muse altogether. Thats like saying, "Can I use Muse to create vector graphics for designing logos?" Or, even simpler " Can I use this hammer to unscrew this picture hook in my wall?"
    Muse would import that AI file as an image only. So, you would have one big picture and no functionality to any buttons, menus etc.
    I would suggest that you try downloading the trial version of Muse. If you could/would design a site in AI ( despite it being an unsuitable tool ) you will find Muse just as easy to use. If you are proficiant in Illustrator or InDesign, Muse's interface is very familiar and uses similar techniques.

  • How do I edit and then export so as to retain my GPS data?

    Im shooting Nikon D5100 and D3200 Cameras with Nikon GP1 GPS receivers. Im shooting jpg FINE and LARGE. I can import, batch and/or individual edit, rename, number ect. and then able export but after I export my images my GPS data is gone. Im running an iMac with the latest OS and LR 5.2 64bit
    I do not do anything else with LR except as follows:
    I import directly from a desk top file folder and export to a new seperate file folder within the original folder. I DO NOT keep any images "in" light room at all and do not "auto import" or anything else. I remove all pics from LR after I have exported them then import the next batch of pics. I have my own filing and storage system of doing things do dont need those functions.
    Im just using LR to straighten & crop and do basis exposure, contrast, and sharpening my pics thats it. I have a few presets for batching which is great. Im running hundreds of pics at time with no issues and Im also able to tweak large tiff files. All very simple editing and LR paid for itself after my very first use.
    I am re-naming and numbering my pics and then exporting them. Nothing fancy here. As mentioned I remove the imported pics from LR when Im done editing and exporting them and then import the next batch. Its great. All very simple editing and re-naming. 
    I need to be able to do all of this editing and keep the GPS data that was recorded on the pics on the camera with the GP1. Any help with an answer on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

    I scrolled down to Metadata in Export and "Copyright Only" was selected and the "remove locaction info" box was ticked. I will run a test set of images with "All Metadata" selected and "remove Location Info" un-checked too see if it will work. Thank you very much!

  • How to permanantly save, and then export a video that was trimmed in iphoto

    I am trying to trim a video in iphoto and save the trimmed version and then export the trimmed version to my iphone. When I export, I get the untrimmed version on my iphone. Thanks for your help.

    What version of iPhoto and system are you using.  There are several versions of iPhoto and we can't offer a solution until we know which version you're using of iPhoto and the system.

    I have created a slideshow in  iPhoto and then burnt it to DVD using iDVD. The quality of the slideshow on the DVD is poor. Any ideas?

    Poor in what way?  iDVD creates standard definition displays of 640 x 480 pixels and will not look as sharp as the orignal photos in the iPhoto slideshow on a Mac monitor.

  • Can FCE HD 3.5 Import HD-AVI with MJPEG file and then export?

    I am having some old 8mm film converted to HD-AVI: MJPEG in the wrapper. Will I be able to import this entire file (about 20 minutes of 1080 video) into FCE HD 3.5, make simple edits (mostly dissolves), add some background music and then export the file to a standard DVD at 640x480 and also to Blu-Ray (using Toast 9's ability to write BD files to regular or dual layer DVD disks with no loss of resolution?
    Is Motion JPEG within the HD-AVI wrapper part of HDV codec? I am clueless about the zillions of formats I see all over (but FCE HD 3.5 mentions only DV and HDV and Apple Intermediare codec 1080i60 or 720p60.
    MartyP

    Hi Tom,
    Does that mean I cannot import the HD-AVI wrapper and Motion JPEG file directly into FCE HD 3.5?
    The file is on a hard drive - not captured thru a FireWire Port.
