Export movie with transparent background, Adobe Premiere Elements 9

Help!
I'm now using Adobe Premiere Elements 9. I'm trying to create a few regularly used lower-third animated graphics. There will be 4... each with the same animated background, but with different names in text.
I was able to do this just fine in earlier versions of Premiere Elements... using Quicktime Export, and changing color settings to "Millions + of colors"... or something similar...
Is there a way to do this in this version? Help!

You can not export video with an alpha channel from Premiere Elements. Sorry.

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!

Thank you very much!

Movies with transparent backgrounds don't display in KN4

In KN4, movies with transparent backgrounds (such as the countdown timers sold by KeynoteUser.com) no longer display when the show is presented. They clearly function when creating the slide, but not during presentation. I'm running the show on a MacBook Core Duo with 10.4.10 and GMA 950 graphics chips with 64 MB VRAM. This might be an issue with the GMA graphics chip although the movies worked perfectly with KN3 and earlier. Has anyone else observed this problem?

The Keynote 4.0.1 update has fixed this problem. Thanks Apple!

Trying to import files with transparent backgrounds into Premier Elements 10

I am struggling to import files from Photoshop CS3 into Premier Elements 10 and preserve their transparent background. I have tried .png (8 and 24 bit), .gif and .psd files. I have tried rasterizing the type layer before "Saving for web and devices" but can't get anything to work. The imported files end up as either text on a white background (.gif) or the file imports as a black background with no type visible (.png and .psd). I have read a few forums but can't find any suggestions beyond what I have already tried. I also get the same problem if I "Save for web and devices" out of Illustrator.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

You have brought up one very interesting maintaining transparency question which I feel goes more to the trigger on the
Premiere Elements Videomerge pop up than to the Photoshop CS2 Save As with or without a check mark for Maximum Compatibility
And, I find that Photoshop CS5.1 as well as CS2 involvement in this matter is the same.
I created three 720 x 480 pixels documents, each with a blue colored circle on a transparent background in
Photoshop CS2 and saved each
psd with check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
psd with no check mark next to Maximize Compatibility
png
Each of them was imported into a NTSC DV Standard Premiere Elements 11 Windows 7 64 bit project.
Each triggered the Premiere Elements 11 Videomerge pop up.
If I checked No for the program request to apply Videomerge, then all 3 results were the same, that is,
the area around the circle was transparent and the circle was not...just the way it was created in Photoshop CS2.
So, why was the Videomerge message telling me "Clip being dropped contains solid background color" when
it had transparency represented by black and did not have a solid background color?
Even more interesting was what happened if I selected Yes to the program's request to
apply Videomerge to create transparency for what it claimed to be seeing as "solid background color".
The result was the same for all three cases, that is, the inside content of the circle became transparent
and the "black background" became a "solid color".
Videomerge is not one of my preferred Premiere Elements options.
To avoid the Videomerge pop up, I would suggest placing a check mark next to the "Do not show again.",
followed by No in the Videomerge pop up. When you do, you should not be confused by the activities of the
Videomerge pop up activities and you should have no problems with the maintenance of the Photoshop
created transparency in the Premiere Elements project.

I need help with installation of Adobe Premiere Elements 11?

Apparently what I have been using was a trial period. I got a message that my trial has expired. When I entered the serial number on my software, I get message that the number is invalid. Pictures I have already downloaded, I am now unable to view. On my computer (PC Windows 8), Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Adobe Premiere Elements 11 are listed as programs installed. Do I uninstall them and reinstall the software? If I do, will I lose the pictures I have already downloaded? How do I delete Adobe Premiere Elements as being preferred to view my pictures in?

Exporting title with transparent background

I'm using Premier Pro CS3 and want to export a title but have the background transparent. I'm sure there is a simple way to do this but don't know how. I'm trying to import this title file into another editor so I can see my underlying video but it's just black with the white title. I'm trying to prevent having to retype the rather lengthy title. I'm thinking this has something to do with alpha but I can't figure out how to make it work. Any help is appreciated.

In CS4, you can export a movie with an alpha channel that will allow you to superimpose that movie over background video in another application. I'm not positive that this is possible with CS3, but this thread at Creative Cow suggests that it's possible. Just put your title on track V1, with nothing in the background, and try the steps outlined there.
However, I'd like to suggest a potentially much easier solution: every editing application that I'm aware has some form of titling tool, though some may be more rudimentary than others. Assuming the editor that you're going to does have a titling tool, simply open up your original title in Premiere's titler, select the text (click in the text box so you're in edit mode, and then press Ctrl+A), copy the text (Ctrl+C) and then go to the other editor and create a new title there. Finally, press Ctrl+V to paste the text into the new title. You may have to a do a little formatting, but it'll save you retyping.
Also, if the other NLE you're going to is not on the same machine, just create a new text file and paste the text there. Save it, and move the text file to your destination computer, and then copy and paste the text into the titler.
EDIT: Sorry Ann! I totally missed your post. You had it first

Export project with Transparent Background

I need to export a Motion project with no solid color background and then import the .MOV into FCP to layer on top of preexisting footage. In project properties I have the transparent checked, but it still exports with a black background. Anyone know of a solution for this?

I cannot get a choice to set the background as transparent. I click edit>project properties and then the background color only offers colors, transparent is never a choice. I have set the color to black and then moved the slider and I have exported it on 100% and 0% and I still get the same results. I am exporting as an lossless+alpha and under the options I have selected a quicktime movie as the Kind and Animation as the Compressor. I have tried every possible combination and cannot get the project to export with a transparent background and like I said when I go into project properties there is no option for a transparent background, only colors.

Are you exporting as a PNG or exporting as a JPG?
JPG doesn't support transparency so you'll have to export as a PNG and check the Transparency box.

Export SWF with Transparent Background.

I have used the text animation effects and want to put a swf into a current flash product, but it has to be alpha channel or clear background.

How to export pdf with transparent background (or NO white background)?

or, how do i get rid of the white background?
I want to add a watermark behind the pages document AFTER pdf-creation (to be more exact: a light picture behind the text in the center of the page)

Thanks everyone
the trick is the following: it's a daily rewritten menu card, that's published in 2 directions:
1. we print it on preprinted cardbords (therefore we need no background in the pages document) (30 times every day)
2. we load it on the webserver, to make it available on the website and to send it out via newsletter. (technically i have a automator printplugin created which does the job of inserting the same backgroundimage as on the preprinted cards and then uploading it to the server)
Well, I guess it does not look to shabby
any ideas?

Adobe Premiere Elements 7 With Worthless Error Messages.

I have been a programmer since 1984, and if I saw a programmer in my team wrote these worthless error messages, I would go into my office and kill myself.
I Googled them, and I found them discussed; but the responses were of no use to me, mostly.
1. The error message I got that brought me to the edge of a cliff is: "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that require Adobe Premiere Elements to shutdown. We will attempt to save your current project."
Then it crashed.
When I was taking Operating Systems in my computer science class, a crash means you will get no more than 60 (out of 100). At IBM, a crash is always a SEVerity 1 issue. There is no way around it. Crash means the program is worthless.
I Googled it, and Adobe suggested it could be some drivers using virtual audio. I uninstalled everything I could find, and this problem is not going away. I looked at the sound device configuration, and it's using physical audio, not virtual audio.
I uninstalled Premiere Elements 7 five times and reinstalled them. They still failed. Finally, I reinstalled it at a different location, and it managed to "Found default catalog. Trying to open the default catalog." Then crashed.
If I wanted to use the default catalog, I would have said so. If I knew where they are, I would have set them on fire.
Anyway, I have a project due this afternoon, and I am stuck with these worthless Adobe Premiere Elements 7 error messages. No wonder Steve Jobs banned Adobe Flash. They are pretty worthless.
Sorry I am so upset, because none of you need to read my frustration; but I am up to my neck with Adobe. Once I get my project done, and I am switching to SONY Vegas.
But, for now, would someone tell me how to get rid of these problems so I can get the video edited? Thank you.

I noticed these errors were reported years ago, and Adobe has done NOTHING to improve it.
Go back to my little list of how problems, crashes and errors sort out. That was how it was way back with Premiere programs, and how it still sorts out.
Even the patch for PrE 8 was mainly to get it functioning with nVidia and ATI graphics cards. Yes, those "fixes" probably straddle the line between Bugs and system, with a nod towards Bugs. I know that Adobe takes their Bugs very seriously, and work overtime trying to find fixes for those, that do exist. Though it took a bit of time, as they gathered info, still Adobe had a patch, and that is rare for PrElements, due to the normal lifespan of that program.
I provide some of the same answers today, that I did years ago, to fix the problems. In nearly every case, things sort out per that list. As "system" is both #1 and is also by far the largest segment of causes, that is where I begin looking. With PC's, there are myriad configurations, and most are not suited for video editing. Too many load up their e-machine and expect to edit HD material. Obviously, that is not the case here, but there could still be equipment incompatibilities, or just some tweaking needed. I see similar in the PrPro forum, as the Mac-users put the program on their MacBook Pros, with one tiny HDD, and a very weak CPU, and things go horribly wrong. If PrE was ported for the Mac, we'd have the same issues here. Usually, my first question will be about the I/O sub-system, i.e. the HDD's, their size, speed, free space, controller type and how they are allocated. Video editing is highly I/O intensive, and most computers are not even close to being able to efficiently handle it. I recommend a minimum of 3x SATA, physical HDD's, and suggest that they be setup to spread the I/O workload over all three. Some manage with a 2x I/O, but that is below MY minimum, and is the real minimum from Adobe. A single HDD I/O is just going to cause bottlenecks, and there is no way around that.
Once, it was more the domain of the PC, that one had system issues, as Mac's were so limited and controlled. Now, as they have gained the ability to expand beyond the absolute control of Apple, those users are finding out that systems DO matter.
Notice #2 - Assets. Not all AV material is meant to be edited. Some, like AVCHD (a consumer format) will require a pro-level computer, just to get smooth playback! The second most common issue is trying to edit material that has something like the Xvid, or DivX CODEC.
Number 3 - Project, is very important too. One must match their Project Preset to their source footage. If not, then there will be problems. The failure to do this match is one of the biggest causes of issues, though usually not crashes, or hangs.
Number 4 - OE, is when a user decides to push a button, and expects something else to happen, and often because that's how it worked in another program. Many argue with me that #2 and #3 are OE too, but I am much more lenient, than they are.
Then, there ARE the Bugs. PrPro CS4 had a bunch. CS4.1 fixed a few, but broke some other things. It was not until CS4.2, that things got corrected, mostly, with that version. Then, CS5 hit, and seems quite good, but has a few Bugs too. Some were left over from CS4. A new update for CS5 is coming, and soon. Will it also fix those lingering Bugs? Only time will tell. Will it be a perfect program? Doubtful, but I'll bet that it'll be a "better" program.
Think back to when you started programming. You were writing apps. for the majority of the install-base. However, what happened if the user had Extended Memory? What happened if they had Expanded Memory? What happened if they had both, and a software manager to handle those? Most still had 640KB. By that time, I had 2GB, though my MoBo could only handle 1GB with the managers. How could you write for me? I was 1:1000000, or maybe even less. I had to do my programming on the fly, and often had boot discs for different programs. It's not that much different now, except that I would not be such a rarity any more, but hardly mainstream.
I'll bet that we can sort much out, by tackling the "Big 3," and then working down, if necessary.
I like doing test Projects, keeping things simple, and testing as we make them more complex. That helps isolate the issues in most cases. In another thread, the poor user says that all Project Presets, all formats and all Export setting yield issues. My first thought is to isolate on one Project Preset, one set of Assets, and see if it's a system issue.
Sometimes it's easy, and that is good, 'cause the user gets to editing and not fritzing so much. Just nailed one in Encore, but the poster gave me all the data necessary, and my memory did not fail me (maybe it was not "wine-thirty yet?). One post, and one correct answer. Life is good. Sometimes, it takes days, and many posts, to narrow things down. In but a few, there is an answer. In those (like the PGC error in Encore) one never does really solve the issue, and the only hope is to get the OP to start over, do everything by the book, and hope for the best, this time around.
Good luck, and be assured - I do feel your pain. If I have not had one of THOSE error messages, believe me, I have read of them too many times.

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??

Thanks for the reply.
I think that the screenshot idea is good. The following should give the how to for posting a screenshot.
How to post a screenshot in the forum
But wait a minute...where are you in the export choices File Menu or Share?. Are you doing
File Menu
Export
and looking for Movie?
There has not been a File Menu/Export/Movie in that area since Premiere Elements 7. All exports in 9.0/9.0.1, see
what is under the Share header.
Since Premiere Elements 7, the File Menu/Export/ exists only for saving Titler titles. And to do that you highlight your title file
in Project and then go to File Menu/Export/Title which will be fully active.
Please let us know if that is the issue. If you want to export your Timeline content, I can provide more information for
the Share section choices that I mentioned in post 1.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thank you.

Does Adobe Premiere Elements Have Video Description & Editing Feature?

Dear Adobe Fans,
Can any Adobe users with experience using Adobe Premiere Elements tell me if you can add descriptions, view or add location metadata to video files? I cannot find a decent place other than my iPhoto library to store movie files and add this kind of information. Sadly, iPhoto cannot be used to import any kind of movie.
I am looking for an alternative video editing app to iMovie. I was wondering if Adobe have video descriptions information. I'd like the ability to add descriptions to my videos like in iPhoto.
Many thanks,
Daniel
