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

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

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!

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.

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.

How to export images with transparent background in illustrator

H i
I am trying to export a png, jpeg button design with curved designs. But the white background keeps appearing when exported.
How do I remove the white background and just have the button image.
Thank you.

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 do I export a clear background from AE CS3 or CS4 ?

Never mind, I pulled it into my project and it was already!

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?

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 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 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 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

Hi
I am having problems in publishing a file done in Flash- a
logo spinning,
and I want the background to be transparent. Under Publish
Settings, I have
the following:
ALPHA: Alpha-transparent
Layer: Auto
And checked the Flatten (Make self-contained).
However when I import the file into another application-
Apple�s Motion, I
get a white background- which is what I have originally. Am I
doing
something wrong?
I even check the track in QT Pro and set the Movie Properties
but it is not
becoming transparent. I appreciate any tips on it.
Thank you.
Kelvin

I've never gotten it to work either. I usually set the
background to something not used in the animation, like bright
green, and then composite the video. I've never used Motion, so I
don't know if this is possible.

Can I turn greenscreen video into video with transparent background (instead of default black backgr

Can I turn greenscreen video into video with transparent background to overlay on another video in another program. probably export as avi. I know I can in after effects but comfortable with premiere. basically want to turn the greenscreen from a black to transparent background ppro cs6 windows
[ email address removed by forum host ]

Harm is correct. It would be better to edit in the program where you keyed out the green. However, if you really must ...
DPX is one file per frame. While you may not be able to open it from Windows, it is only because Windwos has not been told to open them in Photoshop.
The whole point of the DPX file is to have a visually lossless storage of your frames that is designed to be used between applications (just what you want to do): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Picture_Exchange
However, if you prefer to use another option that you are more comfortable with, you can use PNG.
Or...
If you insist on a single video, use the Animation codec for Quicktime.
In any case, you need a picture format or video CODEC that can store an Alpha Channel.
Or.....
Export the video with the black and use a Luma key in the next application.
Or ...
Export the video with the black, and then export a video of just the alpha channel as a blabk and white image where black is transparent when used as a track matte, and then in the next application use the video of the alpha channel as a track matte.
Since you haven't said what the other application is or why you want to use it, we are having a little trouble offering a specific solution.

Using animated gifs with transparent background.

Hi guys,
Keynotes 6.2.
I have been onto apple support with this problem.
I add a transparent animated gif to my project.
It show as a movie correctly in the presentation but when exported as quicktime or HTML the movies fail.
We eventually found out that quicktime does not support animated gifs. ( support.apple.com/kb/ht3775 )
So I exported the animation onto a folder with all the frames separately and brought them into final cut pro.
I then followed these tutorials on how to export with transparent background. ( http://provideocoalition.com/mspencer/video/fcp-x-and-alpha-channels and http://www.larryjordan.biz/fcp-export-transparency ).
I now have a quicktime movie that if I bring back into Final Cut Pro it has a transparent background.
However when I bring into keynotes it still has a black background. (presumably keynotes does not recognise the Apple Prores 444).
Any ideas how I can achieve what I need. ?
I am using a program called crazytalk animator and can output with transparent background. Animated Gif or a series of image stills BMP, JPEG, TGA or PNG.
Cheers
SteveW

This has been an ongoing issue for me since I switched from Powerpoint to Keynote. Most of the animated gifs with transparent backgrounds that I used with Powerpoint are no longer transparent in Keynote. You may want to search for those earlier threads on this topic...
To summarize: I've had to open up my animated gifs in After Effects and use the Color Key effect to restore transparency, with mixed success.
Good luck!
