How do I design a background in AE then link it to my video in Premiere CS6?

Please help! I've been agonizing over this for days; watching videos on YouTube, but can't find the answer. I've done a video for YouTube and it's just me talking, BUT, I shot it in front of a curtain behind me that I don't like. I want to replace that curtain with a background I've learned how to create in AE - it's preset.
Previously, I learned to use the Rotobrush and I thought that was the answer to my problem, but it just extracts me and leaves a black background, and I don't want that. Now that I know how to create the background in AE, I still don't know how to put that background onto the video that I have done. I know it is very simple if you know how to do it, but I don't know how to do it. I've spent way more time on this than I should, with no results! Please help. Thanks.

That is wrong, as Mylenium said, you just did not have transparency grid turned on in your Composition Panel so you could not see the transparency. You are also stating that the rooted layer is the background. This is incorrect. The rooted layer is the foreground. You simply put a background layer below it just as you would in any app that uses layers like Photoshop or Illustrator or . . .
If you want to export a movie that maintains a transparent background then you simply choose the Lossless With Alpha preset inside the Output Module and accept the default settings or you take the time to learn about Rendering, Alpha Channels and codecs by typing "rendering" or "Rendering transparent" in the Search Help field at the top right corner of AE and you study up. None of this stuff is hard, but the knowledge will not automatically pour into your head and the options are too many to achieve success by just poking around.
One more thing. There is no media player (Quick Time, Windows Media Player, etc.) that will show you a transparent background in your video. NONE. The only time transparency shows up is in an app designed to use alpha channels like After Effects or Premiere Pro.
Study up here: Adobe - Search: rendering%20transparent

I'm using movie program how do get rid of background noise and put music over top of video

I'm using movie program how do get rid of background noise and put music over top of video

Niel,
Thanks for your suggestion about using RCDefaultApp. I am hesitating to do this because it seems like I'd be installing still another piece of software to fix the original mistake---downloading Reader.
About 20 years ago I maintained---with considerable handholding---UNIX systems of various sorts. Can you suggest how I might find the plist that seems to require changing?
BTW, Preview is called whenever I open some random .pdf file. The problem appears when I want to get a file from the web. If the site permits a "download" I can get the file, but if I want to "view and print" the file, the evil dark-grey Adobe screen appears with the whirling black ball. Then Safari quits. I'm wondering if the reference to Reader is in a "cookie" sent from the website, when I first was installing Reader. Is this possible?

How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.

How can I change fullscreen background color, so that it is the same when viewing on mac and iPad? I want this to be able to use MathType in widget text.
As an example, html widget has white background on iPad, and black on mac. The same goes for interactive widget.
The MathType text inserted is inserted as a image, and will have the same color when in fullscreen as when not. So I need the textcolor to be the same in both views. Anyone know how to fix this?

We're still not communicating. This is why I wanted an example .iba.
Here's a re-creation of my own, going off what you described. You said "all html widgets and all gallery widgets" have this problem. So I inserted a blank HTML widget and a blank Gallery widget, and typed into both. Inserted a MathType equation into both. I don't see any difference when I preview it on my Mac compared to the preview on the iPad. I want to help, but I can't help if I can't duplicate the issue.
I've attached the screen shots and the .iba file [link to .iba file].
Feel free to email me directly at bobm at dessci dot com. If you're uncomfortable giving some information here, tell me anything you want in email. I work for the "MathType company", Design Science.

How do I add multiple background music clips to iMovie

Trying to add multiple background music to iPhoto clips to make a vacation iMovie but when I add a music clip, it shoots right to beginning rather than stopping at the end of last clip added. I've pinned my background music to the first clips but want to add more background music but can't make it stop at the right photo clip. How do I place new background music at the right clip?

I don't use iPhoto (but read your post since it mentioned iMovie which I do use) - anyway, you're not talking about the application iMovie - you're talking about a movie.
So I am guessing, but it may work the same as it would with iMovie:
Can you select the audo clip and simply drag it to the spot you want it to start? Or, mocw the playhead to the spot where you want it to start then import it?
FYI, it would be helpful to indicate which Mac OS version you are running - it is not iOS 6 which is for iDevices.

How can I remove the background sound from the headphone jack for my MacBoo

for my MacBook Air problem adding music intensifier (Panasonic ST-HT1000) to give it an unpleasant sound background that sounds like a whiz, it's not so loud, but it is an unpleasant .. after a short time can get used to, but the fizz does not pass, however, believe that it is a big problem.
Further I notice that when MacBookAir disconnected from the charger, it remains quieter sound.
At first thought that the headphone jack (3.5 mm Headphone:
Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack) or wiere have problem, but tried 3 different cables, but that does change enything, the problem remains.
When I added iPhonu3GS playing - the background sound were not, then everything is OK!

How do I turn off background ni file activity when not using Labview? files such as nimxs.exe, nipalsm.exe, nipalsm.exe, nisvcloc.exe, nicitdl5.exe

How do I turn off background ni file activity when not using Labview? I use labview rarely, and I also use my computer for demanding multimedia applications, including multitrack digital audio recording. I need to reduce as much background activity as possible, and taking a look with task manager I see files such as nimxs.exe, nipalsm.exe, nipalsm.exe, nisvcloc.exe, and nicitdl5.exe running even when I haven't used Labview (8 I believe). These files run even after I right click the NI icon on the lower right and turn off the application. I would like the computer to boot up without these files, and for the necessary files to be activated only when I start the program.
Can this be done or do I have to remove labview from the system to improve performance?
Thanks

Hello, those processes are part of running NI services that start when Windows boots. These processes serve varied purposes and stopping them can have undefined and unknown consiquences for your NI products. These products run at "normal" priority meaning that they should be preempted by any process running at a higher priority which I would expect your other application to be doing given their time sensitivity. That being said, in Windows XP (I can't speak for other OSes), you can lower their priorities even greater through task manager (right click the process»set priority) to further remove them from contention for resources. If you want to prevent them from running you can set the service startup type to "manual" in Control Panel»Administrative Tools»Services. Right click the process go to Properties and Under the General tab choose Startup Type»Manual. This will start up the processes only when something directly starts it up. LabVIEW will start these processes up as it attempts to use them. When you shut down LabVIEW you will need to manually shut down these processes through task manager. Again, doing this can cause problems with your NI products on your system and it is not advised.

Someone else in the forum told me how to do this. If you have Onyx on your system then select Parameters, iTunes and turn off high contrast mode. If you don't have Onyx, I'd suggest getting it. It is freeware and used to help maintain your system. Good luck

How do I change the background color of a row in a table indicator?

Hello,
How do I change the background color of a row in a table indicator? I know how to change the background color in a active cell, but that is not what I want. My first intent is to make the background color of the first row a unique color, such as green, just to highlight the top row of the table.
Regards,
Kaspar
Regards,
Kaspar

I have done this before by using a for loop to change the active cell of a row in order to give the appearance that the whole row is turning the color at once.

How can i design a smart antenna using labview?? plzz

i have my final year project. I am student of Beng in Telecommunications. How can i design a smart antenna using switched beam algorithm on lab view??

You can hardly use LabVIEW to design antenna, but definitely can use LabVIEW for Characterization, Optimization, and Test your antenna design.
Hope you got the point here.
I am not allergic to Kudos, in fact I love Kudos.
