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.

Using video with a transparent background in Keynote

For a theater production I am creating a slide show. On some of the slides I would like to import some moving snow (created with a particle generator in Motion). I would like the snow to appear over an existing image slide. I exported the motion file as a quicktime .mov file with an alpha channel. Is there any way to do this?

FMS 3.0.4 - Possible to have captions with live stream?

Is it possible to have captions with a live stream? I can do it just fine with a VOD stream, but have been unable to figure out how to do it with a LIVE stream, if it's even possible.

So you are saying your custom video player shows no video playback but in same set up Stock video Component which you are talking about works fine. Is the server under your control? I mean did you try debugging your custom video player - when you say there is no video playback - do you see connection is still alive or connection closes. Is there anything logged in FMS logs to indicate any issue - check application logs of App you are connecting and also other logs like core/edge/master logs.

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

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 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 can I save file in Photoshop with an transparent background as an eps

I can save a file with a transparent background as an png and place it in a document and retain the transparent background. But my client requires eps file. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

You could add a clipping path - look in the Paths panel menu.

Possible to have video playlists NOT show up in the music playlists tab?

I like how when I go to videos > video playlists, my iPod will show only the playlists that contain only movies and music videos inside.
Is it possible to have it so that the video-only playlists are parsed from the music > playlists tab? That section is cluttered enough as it is, and having empty playlists inside really doesn't help.
Also, anyone have tips for managing large amounts of songs? Since I have a lot of one-hit-wonders, the artist and album tabs has gotten populated with 1-song artists and 1-song albums, making it a pain for browsing through in search of whole albums.
Maybe I could put a symbol around the artist or album to make it higher or lower in the alphabet. From what I've seen, it goes symbols, numbers, then letters. Is there anything I can use to sort alphabetically in iTunes to be below the letter z?

I just remembered something; japanese characters (letters) are sorted by iTunes below the letter z. Accented characters (such as ö) get sorted next to their regular (o is higher than ö).
And so, I think I will go through and find all the albums and artists that only have one song to them and rename them using a japanese character so that they appear at the bottom of the album and artist lists. Should make looking through those much easier.
I would still like an answer to my first question.

Making footage in CS 5.5 with completely transparent background. How?

The footage is a man speaking. With this man speaking I want nothing else to show other than the man speaking. No background. I want it completely transparent, other than the man speaking. A good example is http://www.videotile.co.uk/ . This footage is going to go onto a company’s webpage. I gather that I have to export the file into a FLV format or AVI. I can either go through After effects or directly to Flash professional. I can get the background completely transparent through After Effects but I can only export the footage as either a SWL file or a XFL file. I tried the SWL file and loaded it up in Flash Professional. I have gone to the “Publish settings and changed the window mode to transparent and published that. Once I save the file as a HTML and open it up, the page is blank? Could someone help me out, would appreciate that greatly.

Transparent video 'overlays' on a web page are usually done in Flash by setting the SWF's stage to transparent (using Flashvars wmode=transparent) - but of course the video file would need an alpha channel and be supported by Flash Player (FLV, not AVI or Quicktime).
Adobe have depreciated creation of the FLV format in Creative Cloud, and using wmode=transparent is strongly discouraged as it forces Flash Player to disable the hardware-accelerated rendering mode.
It's possible to do a frame-by-frame alpha calculation using HTML5 but it's poorly supported and processor intensive. See HTML5 Video with alpha transparency

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 ..

Is it possible to import an image w/ transparent background from photoshop?

Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to import an image which contains a transparent part of it into Motion, so I can later add in images and videos underneath that layer.
Thanks for your time.

hi again,
there are two ways to do this. In Photoshop you can elect to have a transparent background, if you erase your image to show the chequered background, Motion will do the same.
Or from within Motion you can apply a mask to an image to have it show whats underneath. Apply the mask using the mask tools in the toolbar to the image, then step over to the Inspector, hit the mask tab and select the type as subtract. That will punch a hole in your image revealing whatever is underneath it.
thanks

Cfdocument - PDF with clear/transparent background?

a completely clear / transparent background. Is this possible?
Right now, I get a white "bounding box". Your help is
appreciated.

There is an attribute of the cfdocument tag of

I use the background="image.jpg" of the body tag to adjust
the background of the outputted pdf file.

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?
