Live Type How do you get a transparent background?

Im trying to create just text for FCP using Live Type, but no matter what I do when I export the Live Type movie, Its exporting with a black background. I went into the settings and changed everything around and tried everything. Opacity levels, render background, etc.. I either get the color I choose or black when it should be transparent. I know there has to be a way to just creat text with no background. Much help needed!

When you render your movie, make sure you don't have the "render background" box checked.
Once your movie is rendered it is displayed with text over a black backgournd but rest assured when you put your rendered .mov text into Final Cut it will have an alpha channel and not a black background.

How do I get a transparent background on the down level stage?

How do I get a transparent background on the down level stage?

I haven't tested this, but in your xxx_edge.js file, it looks like the stage background color is set here:
states: {
      "Base State": {
         "${_Stage}": [
            ["color", "background-color", 'rgba(255,255,255,1)'],
            ["style", "overflow", 'hidden'],
            ["style", "height", '400px'],
            ["style", "width", '550px']
Try changing the last value in the rgba value from 1 to 0.
Let us know how it goes!

How do you create a transparent background in AE

Hi--I'm using AE CS5 on a MacBook Pro and I'm brand new to using AE.
How do you create a transparent background?
I need it because I'm creating a shatter effect on a photo and want to import the AE movie into FCP and have it play on one layer while beneath it another image will be seen when the shatter effect takes place.
He'p me, cap'n!
Thanks!

Hey Guys, thanks for your replys!!
Wow, there's a lot to check out there--great!
I hope I'm on the right track, I just watched the video about preserving transparency and maybe I'm stupid, maybe cause I'm new, but I just want to be sure I'm on the right track. Sorry if my question was confusing, maybe cause I am a bit new.
To reiterate: I want to export a short AE movie of a shatter glass effect on a picture. The background needs to be transparent because I will import the AE movie into FCP and place it as the top layer. On a layer beneath it will be video I want to seen as the shatter glass effect creates a 'hole'.
I believe this url tells me how to do that: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/930588
Thanks again!

How do you set a transparent background when adding an image?

I've added a block arrow image to a slide in Captivate 4. I enabled Transparent background and selected white as the color within the Image properties. This used to work when I added the same image in Captivate 3. However, in Captivate 4, when I publish, the image displays with a white background. Though it is transparent in priview mode and on the slide iteself when i have the project open. Any ideas on what else I could do to make the image background transparent?

Hi there
Transparent background should still work in Captivate 4 just as it did in Captivate 3.
There are a couple of reasons it may not do what you are expecting.
The background isn't truly the color it appears to be. For example, it may APPEAR to be solid white (or another color) but in reality it's hundreds of varying shades of the color. This happens a lot with JPEG images.
If the image is PNG format, I've seen Captivate become confused. Especially if the PNG already has a transparent background. So you may need to edit the image and save in a different format.
Cheers... Rick

Post Author: joseph_atkinson
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
I was wondering you can help me.
I am currently receiving an *.xls reports on a daily basis (same report, same format, different data). I have put this report into Crystal Xcelcius Designer 4.5 Professional version and created the dashboard I want.
I am aware of the xml mapping functionality where I can map from the *.swf straight to a database. However, is it possible to map to an xls file that will change on a daily basis? (obviously I can you the refresh button in Designer, but I need to automate this process).
Your help really would be appreciated.

In Firefox, I'm seeing a bad icon for your zip files. I can
download it,
but it looks like something might be amiss with your zip
files
themselves.

How do I get a transparent background in my Illustrator file?

I'm relatively new to Illustrator, (I'm working in CS4) and created a corporate logo for one of my clients. When I place the logo into Photoshop or InDesign, the logo is in a white box. How can I make the background transparent in the original Illustrator file?

How do I get a transparent background behind a graphic?

I haven't worked in Indesign in two years, and forgot a lot, but I'm getting up to speed for a new job. While, I'm designing collateral, I need to get clip art and graphics placed in the document, but everything is coming in with the dreaded white box behind it, and I can't find a quick way to delete it or make the background transparent. I don't work in Photoshop, and I don't have time to work this one out. I used to send images to my service bureau or the printer to fix this, but now with budget cuts, I have to do this myself. After all these years, isn't there an easy way to get the image to be transparent in InDesign?
Thanks so much.

This really hasn't changed in recent versions of InDesign. There is a very rudimentary way of dropping out backgrounds which only works if you have an image on a white or very light background called Detect Edges. Choose View > High Quality Display. Select the image, then choose Object > Clipping Path > Detect Edges.
You adjust the Treshold setting and Tolerance setting to try to select the best result. The best result isn't of professional quality. It might work for a quick comp.
Basically, you need to learn to do it in Photoshop. You need to use Photoshop methods to select the background and delete it to create an image with transparency which you can place in InDesign. Or you need to use the older methods of creating a Clipping Path or an Alpha Channel. Then you can select those options in Object > Clipping Path.

How to I get a transparent background in CS4 ?

I have a Mac computer and am following Lynda.com's tutorials, but I haven't been able to find anything about how to clear the background of a photo so that I can give it another background. Could anybody help me?

Ok.
Open image > select the background layer > Right click and duplicate layer > reselect the background layer and delete it by clicking on the bin at the bottom of the pallet. Now your image is as a layer. if you select the eraser tool then select brush from the mode dropdown option at the top of the screen then you can change the size of the brush either by the short keys "[=smaller or ]=larger" or by using the brush sizing tool then you can erase a way! let me know if that helps?

Don't downgrade OS X without first erasing the drive. You cannot restore a Time Machine backup of Lion directly on top of a later version of OS X such as Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
When you "Restore from a Time Machine Backup.", the drive will be erased for you, but yes, won't hurt to:
Boot into Recovery (hold ⌘R on boot)
Utility->Disk Utility->Erase Macintosh HD, then Repair Macintosh HD
Quit Disk Utility
Then Select: Restore from a Time Machine Backup.

How do you make images transparent in inDesign?

How do you make images transparent in Adobe InDesign CS5.5?

Dittco wrote:
It IS possible: Select the image. Open effects (Window > Effects). Switch from "normal" to "multiply". Viola! White background is gone.
That only works with a white background. In addition, it introduces a transparency effect, with its associated problems.
With a rather light background: Select the image. Open clipping path (Object > Clipping Path > Options). Select Type > Detect Edges; use Threshold and Tolerance to get as close as possible to the edge of your image. This may be difficult because of a too low resolution image, or too much fringe on the edge -- if all fails, use the Inset Frame value to force the mask "into" the image. Click OK, and the background is gone.
But that's not the only way: you can always create a clipping path manually, and then you are in total control, not limited by transparency side effects, auto-edge detection, and busy backgrounds.

FireFox 5: How Do you get NEW windows to AUTOMATICALLY maximize?

When you select the option "New Window" (Ctrl + N OR 'Open A New Window' Icon), how do you get your NEW window to AUTOMATICALLY open MAXIMIZED [in FireFox 5]? Is there a "special" option under Tools > Options > "Whatever?", is there a special hotkey to use, or is it NOT currently possible in the recent version???

You can right click one tab and choose "Close Other Tabs" to close most of them.
Set the pref browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false on the about:config page to prevent closing the last tab from closing the browser and make a close button appear if only one tab is open.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

I added a program but somnehow ended up with "searchqu" as my search engine, how do you get rid of it?

I added a program that somehow put the search engine "searchqu" on my computer. How do you get rid of it? I looked up in the web engines and it is not listed. A blog board I read says it is coming through google chrome that it has to be uninstalled... any ideas?

Searchqu gets installed if you don't opt-out of the installation when you install a 'free' app from bandoo.com which provides free emoticons.
If you have this app on your system now, uninstall it first, otherwise searchqu will reappear again after you complete the following steps. 
To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following. 
#In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
#In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
#Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= 
#In the filter at the top again, copy/paste the following (remove keyword.URL first): '''browser.startup.homepage''' 
#Right click it, choose '''Modify '''and then click '''Reset'''. 
#Close the tab. 
#Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions and remove these add-ons if they're in there: '''Windows iLivid Toolbar '''and '''SearchquToolbar '''. 
#Next, open Windows Explorer and navigate to '''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins'''. In there, delete the following: '''SearchquWebSearch.xml''' 
#Go to Add/Remove Programs and look for '''Windows iLivid Toolbar '''and '''SearchquToolbar '''again. Remove if found. You might possibly find a reference to "Web Search" (searchqu) in Add/Remove Programs too. If so, remove it. 
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
Next, open a Command Prompt (Run As Administrator) and type the following: '''regsvr32 /u searchqudtx.dll''' and hit Enter. If you get an error message, you'll have to enter the full path. Do a Windows search for '''WI3C8A '''and then right click it and choose Open Containing Folder, or Open File Location. Then make a note of the full path.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.

How do you get users to show up in finder?

How do you get the users to be listed in the right pane?
Thanks

Hi Rolomoto, when in Finder, press shift+command+G and type "/Users" in the box (without the quotes). You can also get the "Go To" box from the Finder menu. Finder will show you the different users folders, with the currently logged in user having a "house" for the folder. Because each users' folder is for them only, you won't get permission to see much inside them.
