Insert an image button with a transparent background?

I would like to be able to use an image button with a
transparent background. I have converted my graphic files to .gifs
with transparent backgrounds. But when imported into Captivate,
they have a white background. If I insert as an image button and
check "transparent" it turns the entire image transparent. Is it
possible to have a transparent background when using the image
button functionality in Captivate? Thanks!

I still cannot get this work. Does anyone have anymore help?
I have .gif files for the image button with a transparent
background. When I insert into Captivate as an image I can click
the option for a transparent background, and the image appears in
my Captivate project with a transparent background. Now, what I
really want to do is insert this into my project as a button. I
insert this into Captivate as an image button (there is no option
for a transparent background) and the image appears in my Captivate
project with a white background. Is it possible to have an image
button with a transparent background? Do I need to do a workaround
(something like, use my image along with a transparent button or
clickbox on top of the image?) Thanks for the help.

  • How do I import animated gifs into Premiere with a transparent background?

    I have an animated gif that I got from the internet, and I'm trying to import it into Premiere Pro with a transparent background. The gif is of a video game character standing still and blinking. Whenever I import it, it always has a white background, so I need help on how to change that.
    I've gone into Photoshop and removed the white background frame by frame, making it transparent. I do this by using the magic wand tool to select the white background, then hit "delete" to turn it into that diamond grid, which means it's transparent. I then select File -> Save for Web. I preview every frame, and it shows that the backgrounds are transparent. I save it as a gif. But when I import it into Premiere Pro, the white background is still there.
    I've read many forums online about people trying to import images into Premiere Pro with a transparent background, but none of them have explained how to do it specifically for animated gifs. Every answer has always been "export the image as a png, that'll work", and sure enough, I exported a few frames of the gif as pngs, and those few frames had transparent backgrounds in Premiere Pro. But I don't want a png because those aren't animated sequences, those can only be still images. I need to export it as a gif so that it will remain animated, but gif files always have that dreaded white background in Premiere Pro.
    I suppose I could export every frame as a png, import each of those frames into Premiere Pro, then string all the frames together and tweak them so they'll be functionally identical to the animated gif, but that would take forever. I'm making a video project and I need numerous animated gifs to work with, so I don't want to do that with every single one of them. I'm looking for a way to simply import the gifs into Premiere Pro and be done with it. If there is any way to do this, please help me.

    faind on gif transparency and other cartoon animation problems : Adobe After Effects
    " The reason: GIFs don't support alpha channels. Instead, their file structure assigns a certain color value to be read as totally transparent. There aren't any degrees of transparency as you find in graphics formats that do support alpha channels.
    To use an animated gif in AE, you'd first have to create the areas of transparency, then convert the series of images into a graphics format that supports alpha channels, and there are a bunch: PICT, TIFF, TARGA or PNG, to name a few."

  • How do I export a keynote slide to pdf with a transparent background?

    I use Keynote for creating figures for a report I'm currently writing and layouting in Adobe InDesign.
    Unfortunately I have run in to a quite annoying problem.
    Because of the page-layout and background graphics in my main report, I need to be able to export the figures without the white background which comes as standard. I tried to remove the background in "Master & layout" (my Keynote is in Danish, not sure if it's called the same in English), which is suggested to bring background transparency when exporting to Quicktime movies. I doesn't seem to have any effect when exporting to pdf though.
    When importing the pdf's into InDesign the figures comes up with a white background instead of the wanted transparent.
    My choice of pdf over png is because of the vector graphics.
    Is it possible to export to pdf's with a transparent background?

    One option would be to export the slides as image files and bring them in Pages in that format.
    From the top menu bar:
    Share > Export > Images

  • Is it possible to have video with a transparent background in dps?

    Is it possible to have video with a transparent background in dps?. Basically i've animated some elements in apple motion and want to incorporate them as an overlay (with the indesign page background showing through).

    You could do it with an image sequence but AFAIK there’s no support for alpha channels in video.

  • Jumbled ad image shows up on transparent backgrounds

    On any page with a transparent background, a jumbled image from an ad shows up. It also peeks out through transparent parts of images etc. and won't go away even if I kill Firefox and restart it.
    A picture is [http://thsi.org/firefox.jpg here]; the problem doesn't show up in a screenshot.

    I totally forgot to put that in my post.  Yes, I am putting logos with transparent backgrounds in front of colored rectangles.  That's how I noticed that this one logo is showing up with a white background.  The weird thing is that the other two logos are fine.  I did find a different version of this logo and this one works fine.  The one that works fine is a JPG and the one that shows up with a white background is a JPG.

  • How to save a clip with a transparent background?

    How do i save a clip with a transparent background to export to quicktime and then be able to import it back into my timeline and have it be able to overlay ontop of another clip? Transparent clip is for lower third

    For transparency to work, you need to save it in a format that has an alpha channel. Not sure if FCE supports the Animation codec but if it does you'll want your material as "millions of colors +". The "+" means Alpha.

  • How do I flatten an image in Photoshop with a transparent background?

    Hello!  I am trying to flatten an image in Photoshop while keeping my transparent background.  When I flatten, it gives me this white background instead.  Someone posted this, "thanks for the help. I've seemed to of figured it out. what I did was>merge all visible layers(except for the background layer),>command and click on the layer to select all>flatten image>command j>deselect> and then delete the flatten layer. this gave me the transparent background I was looking for." but it didn't help me.  Please help!         

    Hello Jeff a Wright,
    The version of Photoshop I am using is Photoshop CS5.1.  Whenever I flatten an image, it makes a white background, and gets rid of my transparent background.         

  • Save picture with keeping transparent background

    How can I save a picture as JPEGG and keep de transparent background?

    You can not as jpg does not support Transparency.
    You might be able to save it with a Path and use the Path in a layout application but that is technically not proper Transparency.
    For that you would need to save the image in a file format that does support it (psd, png24, …).

    I would like to generate a PDF file using cfdocument that has

    Right now, I get a white "bounding box". Your help is

  • How do I import a graphic with a transparent background.

    Being new to FinalCut Studio 6, I'm still using iMovie HD (6.0.4) for projects I need to get out quickly. I need to import a graphic to use in opening titles. I have it in .eps, .psd, and .png files. So far I can import it but end up with a black background. I need to be able to put the graphic in front of video clips so need the graphic to act like a title with no background or transparent.
    Any suggestions.
    I know I need a FCP training etc. But am hoping to get this project out today or by the end of the weekend. Thanks in advance for help.

    a-l-i is right, not possible in iMHD6.. (iM08 supports this 'effect').
    you can use QuicktimePro for overlaying grafics ..

  • How do I blend a graphic with a transparent background in InDesign?

    I have a graphic that has a transparent background created in Photoshop.  When I place it in InDesign over a colored box, then print it, the graphic area comes out a few shades lighter than the color box.  How do I fix this?

  • When I copy an image with a transparent background into an image editing program like Photoshop, I get a black background

    I'm wondering if there's a way to preserve transparency, or even change the color of the background to white.
    I often need to get reference pictures for my artwork, and it is a pain to have to save every image and the black background often makes it difficult to see the image, especially when the image has only black pixels.
    Help?

    You can try to drag the image in a Photoshop window instead.<br />
    If that still doesn't work then you need to save the image and open it in Photoshop.

  • How to make an object with a transparent background

    i know this should be simple, but my use of photoshop has really fallen off and i can't recall how to do this.
    i have masked an object from a jpg file and pasted it into a new document created with background contents transparent and i do have the checkered background. yet, when i save this document, the background appears to be filled in with white. is it really white or is it really transparent. i even created a second layer to paste the object into and saved as a pdf, but the same thing happens.
    if i flatten the image, the background also becomes white.
    basic stuff, i know, but i don't remember and the help isn't helping me.

    Tiff supports transparency and is a widely-accepted format. You may want to try giving the printer that format.
    Gif and png can only be saved if you're using RGB images. If they are not RGB, then save as TIFF and you should be fine.
    If you actually are missing a bunch of plug-ins and/or file format options, it's possible that they have somehow been deleted. You'd have to reinstall Photoshop to get them back, or copy the contents of the plug-ins folder from another computer. SFW is a plug-in that resides within an import/export folder in the plug-ins folder, so it does sound like you are missing some things that need to be re-installed.
