How to create transparent background video?

I'm trying to add some filters to some some imported text files from Photoshop, but they don't work so well so I need to import them as transparent video files. So, how do I export the text as a ProRes file from FCP with a transparent background so I can re-import it and add the video filters?
I've tried fiddling around with the alpha channels but the background always seems to be black.

You don't export the files as a ProRes clip.
Place your text on a transparent background and export from PS as .tiff or .png stills. They will composite automatically. You can set the default length required in FCP's User Preferences...
You must do this before you import the files.

  • Creating transparent backgrounds in Keynote for export as titles in FCP

    I am creating titles in Keynote and exporting them into Final Cut. I was wondering if anyone knows how to make transparent backgrounds so I can overlay the titles on videos. I have tried "include transparency" but have been unsuccessful. I haven't found any help files to address this situation.
    Many thanks

    1. make sure your slide background is set to NONE, no color, no image
    no nothing
    2. Check the Include Transparency check box when you choose the
    QuickTime export
    3. Choose Custom from the formats pop-up
    4. Click the Settings button
    5. Choose Animation or PNG from the pop-up (it probably says Sorenson)
    6. Choose Millions of Colors+ from the depth pop-up
    Make any other quality or frame settings, and export it. You SHOULD get
    a movie that has a transparent background.

  • How to create transparency gradient

    Hi
    please share how to create transparency gradient
    have attached the example

    qanibh,
    In the newest version(s), you may specify opacity values for the Gradient Fill.
    In older versions,, you may:
    1) Create the shape with the solid end colour upon the seethrough background;
    2) Copy to the front, apply a gradient to the copy, and in the Transparency palette/panel flyout Make Opacity Mask, setting Clip and Invert as wished.

  • How to create transparent text on a solid color background?

    I want to create a transparent text on a solid color backround, and I need text transparency to go all the way to through the image (i.e. do not show the solid color background). I have the transparent background layer, the solid rectangle layer that occupies part of the image, and the text layer (with text element) on the top of the solid rectangle layer. How do I make text transparency to go all the way through? Here is a similar example for Photoshop CS, only in my case, the backround layer is transparent (i.e. there is no picture): http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-effects/transparent-text-area/. Basically, I need to make the letters see through, so they show the backround color on which the image will be placed. Is it possible to do in Photoshop Elements? I'm using version 9 on Windows 7. Thanks.

    Thank you all for the suggestions, especially 99jon. 99jon's walktrhough is helpful, but I was hoping to find a workaround that would allow keeping transparent text that goes all the way through all other layers to transparent background as a text level, but once I flatten the image, I'd lose the text layer, so I cannot make any changes to it (like slightly change the font, size, style, face, etc). Let me clarify a bit what I'm trying to do to see if there is an even better option.
    Say, I need to have a 300x300 pixel image that (forget about photos) consists of a solid-color circle (circle can be white, black, red, blue, or any solid color, or gradient, does not matter) on a transparent background, and inside of this circle I'd like to cut out a word (say, the word "TEST" with no bevels or other decoration, just flat font) all the way to the transparent background. I just need a circle with text cut out and showing around the circle and through the word "TEST". So if a circle is white and I place the image on a blue background, the word "TEST" would be in blue (so would be the area around the circle).
    Is there a way to set it up to allow changing the color of the circle (say, from white to black, or blue, or red) and keep smooth edges of the text (and circle) blending with the background (i.e. avoid jagged edges) without redoing every color variation from scratch? Like, getting some master file which would define size and position of the elements,a s well as font, etc, and from this master file, use simple adjustments to change the color.
    Ideally (in my dream world), there would be an option for the text element to be of transparent color that would go through all layers below it. But there must be a not too complex way to do this, right?

  • Creating transparent background

    In previous versions of PhotoShop, under Help, there was a wonderful walk-thru that would take us step-by-step thru the process of creating a path file.
    Has this option been moved, or removed?
    I'm now using CS3. I believe this nice option was there two versions ago.

    Dunno what the info at the link says, but how you go about getting a transparent background is often predicated by how that image will be used: print, web, video, games, some or all of those output destinations?

  • How to save transparent background images to have transparent background thumbnails with Photoshop 2014?

    In old versions of Photoshop there was a feature that made thumbnail images have a transparent background.  I'm a CC member using Photoshop 2014 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.4 and every thumbnail of a transparent background image I've created in Photoshop 2014 appears on my desktop with a solid white box background that has a thin black outlined box inside of it.  How do I save the transparent background images I've created in Photoshop 2014 so they will appear on my desktop as thumbnails with a transparent background?   I'd like to continue to be able to replace the default background-less folder icon that that appears on files with transparent background thumbnails to customize my files as I use to do with older versions of Photoshop.

    If your layered document has a Photoshop background layer it visibility need to be set off when saving a PNG or Gif file for Photoshop background layers do not support transparency.
    Thumbnail may be a bit more complicated than you think. I do not use Lightroom, and only occasionally use the bridge.  I believe Lightroom and Bridge  keep thumbnails they develop for image files  in their library databases and caches.  Other programs do not have acces to  these.  RAW Files and Image files have Jpeg previews stored in then.  I believe most application use these previews jpeg to create thumbnails.  Jpeg format does not support transparency.
    Icon on the desktop are not always thumbnails some are embedded icons in application modules other are icon in dll these may well have transparency. However image file on the desktop have generated thumbnails.  However you can create a shortcut for an image png file and create a icon with a transparent background for the png file and change the shortcut's icon for the png file to the transparent ico file you created for it.
    Also many Photoshop release ago an Adobe module created Thumbnails for image files in Windows File explorer and most likely system file dialog. Adobe stopped supporting that stating Microsoft changes how windows works.
    Today I use FastPictureViewer Codec Package to generate image thumbnails for image files including RAW and PSD files in File Explorer and system file dialogs.
    I don't use a Mac don't know what available for your Mac.

  • How to create a background image for each item in a List object

    Hello.
    I am trying to create a background image that displays whenever a user posts something to a list.  For example when a user posts text it would appear in a list.  The new item in the list would contain a specific background image with the users text appearing on top of the background image.  I do not want a background image for the entire list, rather each item within the list.
    I am not sure how clear this is so I added an image below.  When a user enters text in and clicks the "post-it" button their text would appear below with the sticky note background. 
    I am not sure which list type would be best for this problem or how to create insert the image, so I am open to suggestions. 
    Thank you for your help.  Any advice or guidance will be greatly appreciated!

    Hi
    the easiest way would be with itemRenderer.
    You have to do two things:
    1. In your list declaration use a item renderer: <mx:List itemRenderer="myRenderer"/>
    2. create a flex component myRenderer that will be the single item. This can be a canvas with a background image and a text field on it.
    When you add a new item to the list, a new myRenderer item will be created and the data property will be passed to it. So you have to put "data" in your textField.
    If you need more help try looking at Tour de Flex samples, they're pretty easy.

  • How to create a multi video player with iMovie

    Hey folks, I have a great wee QT player for my daughter's website which was generated for me by iMovie export. Lovely.
    But- folk are wanting to see more videos of her singing.
    Question- how to generate a multi-video player using the same principles (and same simple design)? One like those generated by YouTube's facility to create a list of videos to appear in a single player, or where it is possible to just click a "next" tab? Here is the page I am referring to: http://www.brigidmhairi.com/music.html
    Just to clarify- I am not wanting to use the YouTube player because it is a bit fussy and doesn't look right on the site in mind. The QT one has no borders etc and therefore suits me better. Besides- the 320 format is perfect.
    Hope someone can help me, thank you SO much.

    Hi HighlanderIn ..
    who else than me.. ?
    this is no iMovie related question.. that is
    a) html/CSS-coding or
    b) some flash-app
    read out the code on your linked website ... :
    <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/swf/33/videogallerywidget.swf
    pageobject_id=artistxxx bla bla bla /><br/>
    <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/main/artist_feature/widgets">
    bla bla bla ..
    </noscript>
    .. going to that website reverbnation.com, it looks like they offer, as YT, a video-hosting service plus that 'special' player as a flash-code you can embed in your website (as the YTplayer) ..
    so, here are your options:
    • use this service.. costs? no idea, research on your own ..
    • use flash, encode yourself.. perhaps, you can find some 'ready made' coding?
    • *what website-maker do you use?* iWeb offers a template for videos.. many on one preview-page, 'click' creates a bigger version for playback ..
    .. as mentioned: less iMovie, more 'website creation' ..

  • How to remove transparent background from a circle shape

    I have been desperately trying to create a circular logo for an icon in Photshop CS6. Unfortunately I have to start with a rectangular background. After creating the circluar icon I want to remove it from the canvas leaving only the circular icon. I can't find a way to do it.
    Everytime I try I end up with the canvas shape behind the icon logo.
    Isn't there a way to crop a circle? Initiate a circular canvas? Help!

    Hi there
    As Charles mentioned, it would be very helpful if you could post a screenshot. When you say "rectangular background", do you mean the locked background layer that's in your layers panel when you create a new canvas? I've posted a screenshot below.
    If this is the case, you can simply delete this background layer. Unless you have another background layer, this will leave you with a transparent background, essentially "removing" the area around your logo. You would then be able to save the file in a format that supports transparency (such as .png).
    Please post again if you need further clarification. Screenshots would be very helpful!

  • Trying to create transparent background on line art image

    I have an image that's black line are over a white background. I'm wanting to make that background transparent, and then lay it over another image so that only the dark lines show.
    I've tried making the background of the line art image transparent, and then Placing that image on top of the other image, but it came in with a white background. I'm looking for the full photoshop version equivalent of where you could select the background color, and set it to transparency.
    Also, give I have the line art image already placed on the background image, if there's a way to change the transparency of that image, that would be even better.
    I'm going by instructions on the support page "Change the background color of a document", but I'm not sure where it is I open the Fonts window.
    Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

    If you want to create a blank file with transparent background, go to File>new>blank file, then select "transparent" under Background Contents,
    If you open an image with a white background, the Background layer is a locked layer. Duplicate the background layer; it will titled background copy layer
    Now, shut off the visibility of the background layer. Then, access the magic wand tool, click on a white area, and hit delete on the keyboard. On this tool''s option bar, you will have to check or unckeck contiguous, depending on the configuration of background/foreground interface. The tolerance setting may have to be adjusted for optimal results. The checkerboard pattern denotes transparency.
    If you save your file, be sure to select a file type that supports transparency.
