Forced non-transparent background for all compositions in certain dimension

At one point After Effects started to have this background image on all compositions (existing old files to new ones) in 640x1136 dimension.
Problem is, I'm a UI designer and 80% of my works are in that dimension.
Funny thing is, if the dimension is a pixel off, then the transparency returns back again. BTW, that background image with shoes is something one of the projects that I'm working on.
All of my old compositions now have those shoes flashing whenever there's supposed to be transparency and it's just driving me crazy.
I need to get this thing fixed ASAP. please help!

Awesome that worked!
Thanks Tim and Dave for your help, greatly appreciated
btw, I raised this issue to a few of Adobe Help Chat representatives and they all replied back as "it's a known issue, but there is no fix for it". and none of them were even apologetic about it. Just terse "yes it's a known issue" and when I asked if there is a way to fix it then simple response of "no".
I understand not all of them could resolve all problems, but Adobe's customer help service is on par with cable and wireless companies'.
Grateful to have such forum space where there are people willing to help each other. Thanks to Tim and Dave once again. Happy Thanksgiving!

Turn off transparent background for reading in Adobe Reader X 10.1

Up until yesterday, I did not see a transparent background for all things in Adobe Reader X 10.1. This makes for very annoying reading. How do I turn off the transparent background? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you're talking about the transparency grid, check the following user preference: Edit > Preferences > Page Display > Page Content and Information > Show transparency grid

Is there a way to force enable wmode=direct for all Flash content on all webpages ?

I need a way to force enable wmode=direct for all Flash content that's running regardless of the webpage the Flash content is runing on.
If there isn't a way to do so now, please enable this as fast as you can in the next version of Flash.
I've read somewhere that if there's no wmode setting on the page like opaque, transparent, direct or hw the flash content will run in wmode=window setting so it would be very easy to change that and force Flash to use wmode=direct instead.
This could be done by adding wmode=direct line to mms.cfg or even add Force wmode=direct to Flash Settings, easy as that.
I really don't wanna hear the arguments why force enable wmode=direct for all Flash content regardless of webpage is not indicated to do, just do it, I really need this wmode=direct feature to be always on simple as that.
I know that on some webpages some content might run behind flash content by doing so but I really don't care cause I know what sites I'm using and what Flash content I'm runing so just enable it.
Waiting for all websites to implement wmode=direct would take ages and I don't have time to waste instead I wanna enable this feature by now since I have seen what a big difference it makes by runing Flash accelerated instead of software decoding.

You will not get what you need using stamps, especially if you ever want to use dynamic XFA forms.
The digital signatures that were signed with a self-signed digital ID won't fully validate unless the user chooses to trust the corresponding digital certificate first. You should only trust a digital certificate if you trust its source. The problem is using self-signed IDs will be difficult to use on the scale you're talking about.
Digital signatures are the best approach for your needs. They can provide both nonrepudiation of document origin as well as document integrity. You just have to figure out how to implement a solution you can afford.
You agency can become its own certificate authority and issue certificates to its employees. You'd just have to find a way to implement and manage such a system.

Transparent Background for a Label/Display item

I'm using Forms 10g.
I'd like to make the background of my labels (display items) transparent. i.e. it should be the same colour as the canvas (eg teal) instead of the ugly white default background.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Abigail

Wait a minute! Abigail is not really asking for "transparent" background. All you need is for the background to have the SAME background color as the canvas.
All of our forms have that feature. Display-only fields have same background color as the canvas, update items have a white background, and the item where the cursor is located gets set yellow.
We do it with property classes and visual attributes. The canvas is assigned a Visual Attribute = "WINDOWBACKGROUND", and display-only fields are assigned a Visual Attribute of "DISPLAYITEM". Both visual attributes are assigned the same background color, with the foreground (text) color black and navy respectively.
We have mouse-click processes that allow the user to change the screen background color from the default to something they might like better. That process just changes the background color of the two visual attributes, and both the canvas and all the items' background colors change together.

Custom CSS-Applying selected background for all the cols in the report

Hi,
I am trying to set a particular background for all the columns in the report(not for all the projects,so that I can avoid option of manually setting background color for complete report.For this I thought custom CSS is best option.So edited custom.css(C:\OBI11g_Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\app\res\s_blafp\b_mozilla_4) file with below code and went to the Answers-> Criteria->Choose Column->style-> check "Use Custom CSS Class"->MyCell
Code used in custom.css
.MyCell { background-color: #00ff00; font-style:italic; font-weight: bold;}
Somehow I dont see the background color applied to any of the columns in report.Can anyone had successful attempt of this Custom CSS.Thanks in Advance.

I am trying both the solutions.
User 979493,
I started manually writing the code instead of pasting and almost worked.In the mentioned below paths I dont have custom.css file,so I created one and manually entered below code.But does it work for only that particular column and not for all the columns.Is it supposed to work for all the columns or just that column.
For example: I have 2 cols in the report,I used "Use Custom CSS Class" -> MyCell for the first column and when I ran results it shows background color for only col1 and not for col2.I thought this feature will apply background color for all the columns in the report.Please correct me if I am wrong.
custom.css file content:
.MyCell{background-color: #00ff00;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;}

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"

Transparent background for an accordion in Captivate 6

How do I remove the background and the shadow from an accordion on interactions? I need a transparent background for an accordion.
P.S.: I'm not interested in purchasing the version 7, I believe that such a basic thing as this must have been provided for version 6.

It is not possible, neither in Captivate 7. You take or leave the interactions as they are.

Transparent background for Quick Look thumbnail

I am writing a Quick Look plug-in and would like to generate a thumbnail with a transparent background.
If I simply create a graphics context, flush it and exit, I see a solid white square for relevant file icons and Quick Look previews. I can find no way to clear the canvas to transparent - I can paint the contents of my thumbnail onto it just fine, but everything is composited to the white background.
For example, the following implementation(ish) of GenerateThumbnailForURL results in solid white squares for thumbnails:
CGContextRef context = QLThumbnailRequestCreateContext(
thumbnail,
CGSizeMake(512, 512), /* (For example) */
false, /* Changing to 'true' for vector context makes no difference */
NULL
QLThumbnailRequestFlushContext(thumbnail, context);
CFRelease(context);
return noErr;
Various combinations of CGContextClearRect with and without wrapping the call in CGContextBeginTransparencyLayer and CGContextEndTransparencyLayer, or trying to use CGContextFillRect having set a colour which is fully transparent, have all failed. The solid white background just shines through.
Am I going about this the wrong way (e.g. should I instead try to generate an image with a mask and send this to Quick Look with, say, QLThumbnailRequestSetImage ?) or is there some Magic Call that I should be using?
Thanks...

This isn't nearly as intuitive as I think this should be.
You're right, video is really hard.
Looking back over your thread, it's entirely possible the movies have transparency, you're just not looking at it properly, which is, granted, confusing. But alpha channels are not fundamental to video editing, they're special types of clips and you need to learn how to create and use them.
Motion is set by default to render to the Animation codec but may not be set to millions of colors +, the + sign is the alpha.
And, no, sorry, it can't be explained in a simple step-by-step post. There are fifty or a hundred pages on alphas in the Motion documentation. Start with the explanation of the Animation codec.

Transparent Backgrounds for Graphics

Someplace in here a couple months ago one of you brilliant folks mentioned manipulation of images in AppleWorks so as to obtain a transparent (rather than a white) background. I remember testing it in ClarisWorks, and it worked there also, but like a dope I forgot to document the steps.
Anyone help with that?
Thanks 0db
OS10.4.9 / Dual 2ghz G5, 4.5g SDRAM / 1.5ghz G4, 2g SDRAM / SE30, 256k RAM Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Fortunately. when I write a fairly lengthy response, I try to save it for inspiration in case the need should come up again. Here is mine for this transparency issue in AppleWorks. Note, though, that I've had some problems getting this to consistently work lately & I don't know why. For the last couple of years I've been doing most of my work that requires this kind of stuff in Pages.
AppleWorks doesn't handle transparency well, even using formats such as .gif or .png saved with transparent backgrounds in another application. However, a few years ago I accidentally discovered that if an object is flipped or rotated in AppleWorks, the background will become transparent. The object doesn't even have to be .gif or .png & have transparency.
Once I discovered this, I used GraphicConverter to flip an image horizontally & save it as a PICT. Then I insert the object in my AppleWorks document & flip it back. I use PICT because it is the only graphic format that will retain the native resolution. All other graphic formats are changed to 72 dpi by AppleWorks.

SWF movies Transparent BackGround for TV How?

I wanna run my SWF ADS Banner for TV with Transparent
Background, I am unable to do,
all Banners are runing with default white Background, How I
gonna solve that problem
I am using speacial video editing software: via builder ,
from here I transfer/export/republish the SWF file to file.via,
than from chracter genrater inscriber hardware that through
VB made program that display and complile the .via file to run on
TV screen, but in TV screen I wanna use trasparent BG of SWF,

You need to use a mask on the banner. This will make the rest
of the layers under the mask layer transparent.
So what you need to find is info on masking in flash, if the
ads move you will need to look for animated masking info.

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

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.

Rendering transparent background for website video

I have a comp for a website that I'm doing.
I have a transparent background and some fading in WHITE text with a light ray animated behind it.
I have followed instructions on how to render with the transparency intact (Quicktime, PNG, RGB+Alpha, Millions of Colors+). When I render it out and watch it in Quicktime, the light ray isn't correct and there's no transparency. Same thing with Final Cut Pro.
When I bring the footage back into AE, the transparency is there so I'm assuming that the transparency is there but QT & FC just don't play transparency files.
I need the transparency bc I want the text to reveal over a background picture I have in my webpage design.
Is there anyway to get this done right? I need the file to NOT be 300+ megabytes and when I drag the clip into COMPRESSOR to make it smaller, nothing is showing on the preview screen. I've been doing some research but haven't found anything to make it work correctly.
Can someone help me with this?
In the end, what I'm attempting to do is add the QT video into my iWeb page and have it play. I'm not a coder so I don't know how to make this happen any other way than making a QT movie and then adding it iWeb.
thanks in advance.

The only video format that supports transparency in a web browser is a flash player. That really doesn't fully support transparency either. The QuickTime player or any other video player will never ever support transparency in a web browser. Your project design is flawed from the outset. Another words you cannot do what you are trying to do using QuickTime. You will have to redesign for flash. If you redesign with flash, then you will not have a mobile compatible application.
I don't have much of an explanation of what you are trying to accomplish with your project so I can't give you more pointers than that. Point us to a website that has the features you are trying to implement on your webpage and maybe we can give you some ideas but After Effects is not where you should be looking.
