Importing a logo from photoshop in FC

I can't seem to get a logo that came from photoshop to look correct in FC.
I would like to use it like a bug in the lower right corner. I have tried importing several different ways. It either has a white background that I can't get rid of or looks transparent but looks bad, unreadable.
What is proper way to do this so it it is just my logo over top of the video. Think of network bugs in the corners of the frame.
Help

I used it as a jpeg, a psd and I think a tiff and it did not have any background.
When I dropped it into the canvas and onto the timeline it was really distorted. It didn't have a background but it didn't look right. The ones that did have a background looked alright, but had the unwanted background.
It did not have any other layers but it did have some layer styles. Drop shadow and something else I can't remember right now. I did render it too, no help.
Any thoughts?

  • Importing transparent logo from photoshop into Motion 1.01..

    I am trying to import a transparent logo into motion that I did in photoshop..
    No matter how I save it in photoshop, when I import in motion it always comes up with white background and never just the logo.. I have tried clicking on the Alpha type in the inspector and then dragging it on to the stage but no luck!!
    Not sure if there is even a way to do it? I have the logo and have it as a png, psd and .targa but cant get it so its just the logo..?
    What am I doing wrong?

  • Please, a DEFINITIVE ANSWER: import logos from Photoshop w/ no background

    Hi,
    I've scoured these forums for a solution to this question and as of yet have found nothing fully answered or easily interpretable. For the benefit of myself and those others who have asked the question to little or no avail, PLEASE offer your insights on how to import a logo from Photoshop into FCP so that it has no white, black, or any kind, of background (i.e. that it exists on a transparent canvas in both Photoshop and FCP, so that when you place it on your timeline, superimposed over footage, you will not see that it appears set against a white rectangle or square, in the shape of the canvas on which the image appeared in Photoshop.)
    Now, let's presuppose I'm an idiot -- which is, in truth, pretty accurate. I'm gonna need basic terminology. Tell me what buttons to push. What file type to export from Photoshop (I'm hoping you will say TARGA). And please, above all, try to avoid cryptic tech language such as "you must first decapulate the vector-field" and whatever...that stuff reads like hieroglyphics to me.
    I am running FCP 4 and some recent version of Photoshop (I'm not at my computer at the moment but I'm not sure what tremendous difference the version number might make).
    And of course, thanks in advance for an help and insight you might be able to offer.

    First, you really need to make sure your logo file actually AHS a transparent background. If is doesn't start a new Photoshop document WITH a transparent background and drag the contents from the original logo file to the new PS document. If a background os present, select it with one of the select tools (I use Color Range quite often for this) and delete it. Save the new PS document in a format that supports transparency such as TIF or PSD.
    import the new PS document into FCP.

  • How to import a logo from flat file to SAP in SMARTFORM.

    how to import a logo from flat file to SAP in SMARTFORM. i need to know whether TIFF format is used and also the full steps.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You can not directly use a logo from a file into a Smart form. First you will have to upload it to SAP. This has to be done only once. Once it is imported into SAP then you can use it in smart form. To import a logo to SAP, goto SE78. Open the tree under GRAPHICS. Select the file type and click on the Import (first button on the toolbar, just before delete button). Select the logo file and give it some appropriate name along with description. Select appropriate type of the image and click Continue. Your logo will be uploaded into SAP from a file. Now in your smartform, Create a Graphic Node, give the name of the logo along with other properties. In this way you can import a logo from a flat file into SAP and consequently in a smart form.
    Reward points if the answer is helpful.

  • Problems importing 3D layers from Photoshop

    Hi, I am a public school teacher in Australia and we have a site licence for the Adobe Master Collection CS4 at school. I am having some problems importing 3D layers into After Effects from Photoshop.
    Firstly, I have a computer in my office with exactly the same software, installed from the same source as the computers in my class room. They are all running Google SketchUp 8, Photoshop Extended CS4 and After Effects CS4.
    In my office I am able to export a 3D model from SketchUp using the KMZ format and open it using Photoshop. I can then save the file as a PSD file. I can't attach the file here as it is just over 2mb. When I import it into After Effects using the Photoshop Live 3D option I can rotate the model as normal and the elements appear as shown below.
    When I try the exact same exercise in my class room (where the computers are all running exactly the same versions of Photoshop Extended CS4 and After Effects CS4) the model is imported as a 2D image with no ability to rotate or interact with the model. It appears that the camera and controller layers are missing from the timeline as well as the Solids folder from the Project pane as shown below.
    I have been trying to figure out the difference for most of the day today and so far I cannot find any reason for this to occur, neither can I find anyone with a similar problem who has solved it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Mr Merrick

    PS Live 3D requires hardware acceleration to work properly, that is in terms of OpenGL support being available in Photoshop on the machines in question. If that's not the case, the importer component won't function either as it uses the same routines.

  • Importing keyword list from Photoshop CS1 is possible

    Amongst all this gloom on a more positive note I thought people might be interested to know that I have successfully managed to import my long keywords list from Photoshop CS1 into the keywords hud. It is fiddly and I'm sure there must be a more graceful way of doing it but I got there in the end.
    There are two buttons bottom right of the keyword hud - import and export - for which I have found no documentation in the manual however I tried export and it exported the keyword list as a text document. If you find your Photoshop CS keyword pref file which is by default kept in : user name / library / preferences / Adobe Photoshop CS settings / Keywords.psp, you can open it with text edit. You then have to fiddle around with the formatting which I did by copying it into a word processing app and using find and replace so that I ended up with a tabbed list which followed the same format as the exported aperture text list. I then pasted it into the aperture list and after a bit more fiddling around was then able to use the import button on the hud to bring in my entire list as it appeared in Filebrowser.
    Fingers crossed!
    Best wishes

  • Newbie Importing Vector work from photoshop

    A friend of mine asked me to make a design that will be cut out by a laser cutter.
    I work faster in Photoshop than Illustrator, so I made the design in photoshop using all vector elements (text and pen tool). From photoshop, I did "save as" and selected .eps and preserve vector data. The eps files look ok when I open them in Illustrator, but the laser cutter store says they are not vector data and they can't use them to cut.
    Is there any way to get a usable eps or ai file from my psd files? I would love some help

    Just to update the topic. Beth sent me a file.
    You were there Beth
    You had it, but just weren't sure what to look for. After releasing the clipping masks there were 3 or 4 of them right around the edge of the artboard. Often when opening a Photoshop-generated PDF these full page masks exist. Because they overlapped each other, after releasing them you only saw the black rectangle. If you had deleted all of those you would have only seen vector paths in Outline Mode and that black rectangle would have been gone.
    After that, it was merely a matter of selecting all, fill with black. Then go through the circles you had and make those compound paths by selecting the inner and outer circle, choose Object > Compound Path > Make and finally changing their color.
    That's all there was to it.

  • Issue with Metadata when importing 30K images from Photoshop Elements 7

    I'm a new mac user and am moving ~30k images from my PC to my mac. I have photoshop elements 7 that I use on the pc and am moving everything over to Aperture. I maintain all of my organization on the PC using "key words". I made sure to move all of the metadata over to the Mac with the images. However, I would say approx 5,000-10,000 of the images have the wrong Metadata. For example, a key-word "Vacation" is showing up on an image that should say "Christmas". This is just an example and it's creating major issues with my smart albums. The wrong images are in the wrong albums. Help!?!?

    Hi Shellie
    Is anyone familiar with PSEDBTOOL? I've been told it will do a good job applying metadata to files inside PSE but I'm afraid to run it and have it screw up my current library.
    I'm not familiar with that tool. What I will say is that your caution is well founded. If you do try to run anything like that on the PC side, ensure first that you have a backup of any data that might be modified - and that you (a) know how to restore from the backup in case anything goes pear-shaped and (b) you've actually tested your backup (by doing a restore) and are confident with its integrity.
    One other thought has occurred to me since earlier. Let's try a different tool...
      – Locate one of your problematic master files - on the Mac side - as exported from PhotoShop Elephants.
      – Open it in Preview. (It lives in the Applications folder.)
      – Select +Tools > Show Inspector+ (if the Inspector is not already showing from an earlier session).
      – Click on the Inspector icon which resembles a simplified traditional magnifying glass.
    That displays the keywords in the file.
    How do they compare with your expectations (from PSE)? How do they compare with what's showing in Aperture?
    This won't solve the problem, but it might just shed some more light on the problem.
    Regards,
    Gary

  • Import animated GIF from Photoshop?

    I have a question... I am unable to create custom animated gif's in Photoshop 5/6 and import them into Captivate 7.  It just says "The GIF file contains errors".  I've tried exporting on multiple settings and still no luck, same with exporting from Fireworks.
    I am however able to import an exported gif from Flash, yet the quality is horrible and the transparency is buggy.  Is anyone else having this issue, or is there some setting that I am missing?  Basically I need to animate some images within a Captivate project, without the need of using a .SWF (for HTML5 output). Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

    I experienced this issue with Captivate 8 and Photoshop CC... 
    I eventually realized if the animation has any frames with "no delay" I would get the error.  Changing those frames to a 0.1 second delay resolved my issue.  Not sure if this is the same bug you are experiencing but it's worth a try!

  • How to import B & W from Photoshop CS2

    Hi, I'm new to this forum, so be gentle! <g>
    I'm trying to make a slideshow, mixing color and black-and-white images. All of these images are scanned, from prints or slides. The b&w images are then converted from 16-bit RGB to 8-bit grayscale, then edited in Photoshop CS2, then imported into iPhoto.
    (Just as a sidenote of possibly dubious relevance, the color images begin digital life as 16-bit, the grayscale as 8-bit.)
    These images look fine as 8-bit grayscale images in CS2, but when I import them into iPhoto, either in a batch, or individually, they show up as black rectangles. If I click on the rectangle, I see a negative of my image.
    This used to work ok, before I upgraded both to CS2 and iPhoto 6. How can I get this to work again?
    I have both a 15-inch G4 Powerbook, and a dual 2.7 GHz G5 PowerMac, running the current system and the same version of all software. The PB has 2 GB of RAM, the tower 3.5 GB.

    Hi! Thanx for your response.
    It is not clear that he has imported it as wmv or pdf, but the slideshow has to be imported in such a manner that it can still be edited (Captions, effects etc.)
    Creating a wmv or pdf will not allow the same.
    Any Ideas?

  • Importing into bridge from photoshop album

    Hi. I have Photoshop Album 2. As it is long outdated, I want to import all the tags, etc from the photos into Adobe Bridge. I have not found a way to do so.
    From searching Adobe support, it appeared that the next best shot was to migrate the photos with tags into Photoshop.com. However, this also does not work as the instructions say to select to share to photoshop.com.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/870/cpsid_87065.html#main_How do I migrate my photographs in Adobe Photoshop Album to Photoshop.com?
    This does not work because the photoshop album, does not offer the choice of sharing with photoshop.com, even after I tried every variety of adding that option in.
    Can anyone please help me with this? I REALLY do not want to retag 10,000+ photos.
    Thank you.

    I know nothing about photoshop album.  But I would first check to see how the key words are written in that program.  In Photoshop elements, and Lightroom they are written to a database.
    In PS elements one can select an option "write keyword and tags to photo".  This will put the data on the image and can then be read by Bridge.
    See it there is such an option for PS album.

  • Importing an image from photoshop into FCP7

    Hello
    I have some images in photoshop that I need to bring into FCP7...I need them to look transparent so the image (video) can be seen. The images are coffee stains .I need to know how I import them. Any help would be great. I have imported images before but I think these have to be on layers to get the transparent look.The images are in layers? Do I import the layers?
    Question 2.
    I have a plugin and need to import it into my filters in FCP7..I know this should be easy but could someone help with that also...
    Question 3.
    Does anybody have any advice about Luca visual effects?
      thank you
       philip

    If you want transparency, make an Alpha channel or put the objects on a transparent background in Photoshop. You must save the images in a format that supports transparency such as TIFF.
    You import them by clicking the Import Files button or simply drag onto the FCP Browser from the Finder.
    2. A regular plug in or an FXPlug plugin?
    3. No. Why not use the Contact link on his website and ask the man himself? http://www.lucavisualfx.com/contact.htm

  • Importing layer groups from photoshop to flash cs4

    Hi everyone,
    I have about 5 layer groups in Photoshop and in each of the groups/folders there are some layers with some text and other layers with isolated images and also layers with some layer styles. When I import this file into Flash I need each of the layer groups to be imported as a flattened bitmap image. I don't want any of the text to be editable or to have any of the layer styles intact. So if there are 5 layer groups in Photoshop, I just need five bitmap images in flash. I've tried doing this but it still imports the layers separately. I know I can flatten the groups in Photoshop but I want to keep this file editable.
    Does anyone know how to do this?
    Appreciate any help.

    Harry Kunz wrote:
    Then why not flatten it (BUT not save it) and import it into flash THEN revert the photoshop file (CTRL+Z) so it will still be editable version?
    Yeah I know that's an option but I just thought there might be a quicker way, but maybe not.
    Thanks for the suggestion though.
