PNG transparency not working when importing in AfterEffects

I have been saving the pictures for Web & Devices -- PNG-8, transparency is checked, as far as Matte goes, I've selected "none" .... however, when I upload the images into After Effects, they all have white backgrounds instead of being transparent! I have combed the archives and can't seem to figure out what my problem is. If I ticked transparency, shouldn't it be transparent??
Even with transparency selected, if I do click Matte, it will use that color as the background in AfterEffects. But especially if I have "none" selected for matte, why is there a background showing up? I realize that I could try PNG-24, but file size is absolutely essential, down to the kilobyte, so I need to keep it at PNG-8.

If I ticked transparency, shouldn't it be transparent??
No. AE doesn't do palette based transparency. The image is not really transparent, it's just one color being tagged as such that a rendering device (browsers for instance) will blend in teh background pixels in place of the color. It just doesn't go together with how AE works. As Rick said, you will have to use 24bit PNGs.

  • Mouse not working when importing timeline from premiere

    This actually happens in a number of Adobe operations. Sometimes I can tab from one selection to the next and get by, but with this particular operation, I can only close the window with the mouse.
    I actually get past the first import as timeline window where I can select the premiere project file. I then get to select the sequence and that is when I have no mouse control within the window and
    thus can not select the sequence. Using the tab or enter keys also does not work. I can only close the window.  Any suggestions?

    Hello, I just had a problem similar to this: lines appearing everyehere, somestimes the brushdots didnt appear at all, the first line a drew = nothing, second line drew = first line. It was really wierd.
    I tried almost everything, from re-installing PS, Going back to vanilla settings, reistalling mouse drivers. But nothing of that worked.
    BUT I FINALLY I FOUND A SOLUTION! and it was so easy and obvius that i behind it.
    All I had to do was to update my graphicscard driver! Yeah...
    I hope it works for you to.
    best of luck.
    Update NVIDIA driver: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scansg.aspx?lang=en-us
    Or

  • LoadmMoive in flash not working when import to Captivate

    I have a empty movie clip loading different swf files by clicking different buttons.
    It works prefect in flash, but when I import it into captive and publish, it shows nothing......
    I am using as3 and captive5.
    It would be wonderful if anyone can help me with this problem.
    Thanks

    Well, the original project is structured a bit differently from the norm. It imports the flv to a playback component, and uses an event listener to navigate to a new URL once the video is finished playing. But I don't know that there's a connection here which would cause the video not to even begin. I don't know if this will help, but FWIW, here's the code:
    import fl.video.*;
    flvPlayer.source="NEWINTRO.flv"
    flvPlayer.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, myHomePage);
    flvPlayer.autoPlay= true;
    var urlRequest=new
    URLRequest("http://www.thewebsite.com/home.htm");
    function myHomePage(eventObject:VideoEvent) :void
    {navigateToURL(urlRequest, '_self');}
    Like I said, locally, it all works flawlessly. Thanks for your help. - Mark

  • Fcp 7 XML not working when importing to Premier CS5.5

    It suddenly stopped working, I could import xml's just fine. The only thing I did before it started happening was do maintenance with OnyX.
    Its telling me that the PROJECT APPEARS TO BE DAMMAGE. It points to Users, library, caches, temp Items, then project file name.
    Things I've tried...Export different xml's, versions 1 thru 5.
    Repair disk permissions.
    looked at the temp Items folder, and there's no xml file, Just a dinamiclinkmanager file.
    Uninstalled cs5.5. Re-install cs5.5 do updates.
    To no avail.
    It was working perfectly before.
    I also started getting an error 24 when trying to install, had to contact adobe they couldn't help me, finally got it back.
    More concerned about the xml right now, just mentioned it in case.

    The problem is with the recently exported (FCP) xml's, not with Premier. I just Imported an old xml into premier with no issues.

  • PNG transparency not working?

    Using PS version 7.0...
    I've made an image with a shadow along the top  portion, and saved it as PNG-24 to preserve transparency,  but it comes out as seen in this screen shot.  I've tried  various ways of saving the image, but nothing I do gives me the desired  result.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance!

    You should have no problem saving a transparent or partially transparent PNG file, even just using File - Save As...
    Edit:  I re-read your post and noted that you're using Photoshop 7.0.  That's pretty old, and I'm not sure but you may have to use File - Save for Web.
    You're probably aware of this, but I'll mention it anyway:
    How you view/display the PNG file matters...  Browsers render transparency, but image viewers often do not.  Was the screenshot you displayed rendered in a web browser?  Please feel free to download and use whatever parts you like from this web page to test with:

  • Setting Workflow status not working in imported workflow from SPD to Visual Studio

    Hi all,
    I have created SPD workflow and imported in visual studio. When I deploy imported Workflow using visual studio feature I found that Setting Workflow Status action is not working. Do I need to change Set Workflow status activity in Visual studio to make it
    work.
    Rohit Pasrija

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that Setting Workflow status did not work in imported workflow from SharePoint Designer to Visual Studio.
    I try to reproduce the issue and the result is the same as yours.
    After I import the workflow, choose the .xoml file, the view is as below:
    To troubleshooting the issue, I add a new item to the project and select “Sequential Workflow” in the template.
    After I click the Tool, I find that there don’t have the “SetCustomWorkflowStatus1” activity.
    To set the status of the state, we need to use the “Set State” Activity in the “SharePoint Workflow” toolbar.
    That is the reason why the “SetCustomWorkflowStatus1” activity does no work.
    More information:
    Apply Custom Values to Visual Studio Workflow Statuses

  • Hyperlinks don't work when importing from PowerPoint

    When importing a file from PowerPoint, the hyperlinks on the slide work when in preview mode, but they do not work when the file is published except for when published as a pdf file.  Is this a common problem?

    Hi there
    I didn't think Hyperlinks survived the trip from the PowerPoint universe to Captivate. But things probably changed with Captivate 4.
    It could be that you are seeing the Flash Player silently blocking your linking. If that's the case, following what is outlined at the tutorial linked below should help.

  • Links not working when I export to HTML or PDF

    I am a longtime Mac fanatic, but new to using Keynote. I am creating lectures for a class I teach where the computer in the classroom is Windows, so I have to export my Keynotes to another format.
    First I tried exporting to Powerpoint. That was a disaster. Since, I've tried exporting to HTML, exporting to PDF, and print -> Save as PDF (to get a PDF that prints nicely).
    My problem? Hyperlinks within my Keynote work fine when I play the presentation in Keynote. They also work when I export to PDF. However, they do not work when I generate the printable PDF OR when I export to HTML.
    I guess I understand them not working in the printable PDF, but not the HTML. Am I doing something wrong?
    Ideally I would like to export one PDF that I could use up on the projecter (with links working) and that students could view and/or print from their computers.
    Should I really have to have 2 PDF's - one for students who want to view it on screen with working links and one for people that want to print it out?!?!
    TIA for any help/advice!

    Do you have any filters applied to your clips?
    This happened to me before, I accidently had applied a broadcast safe filter to a color matte that was black....
    I figured it out by duplicating my sequence and deleting items from my timeline 1 by 1 until I was able to export a reference movie.
    Anywho, export again, this time with "self contained" movie selected.
    Then try to import to Compressor.

  • ExternalInterface not working when swf file is embed inside a dynamically cloned DIV element.

    ExternalInterface not working when swf file is embed inside a dynamically cloned DIV element.
    It seems that flash movie is identifed as 'undefined' inside document.
    //a statically placed div
    var staticdiv=document.getElementById('PropDiv');
    //dynamically placed div with object tag
    var dynDiv =staticdiv.cloneNode( true );
    var xD=50;
    var yD=50;
    if(dynDiv)
    dynDiv.style.display  = "block";

       dynDiv.style.top=50;
       dynDiv.style.left=100;
    document.body.appendChild(dynDiv);
    In above situation communication is not establised when a  funtion which is retruning boolean is called from flash using
    ExternalInterfcae.call.The return value of this function is getting as false inside flash.But the value is true in javascript.
    if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1) {
       return window[movieName];
      } else {
       return document[movieName];
    window["external"] is returning as 'undefined'.
    Please give a  solution to solve this.

    Note that you have different file names for the object (images/banner.swf) and the embed (images/banner1.swf)
    You also placed the embed in the middle of a param tag and nested all param tags.
    Because you didn't include a MIME type and the object doesn't have a classid for an ActiveX control for IE, I'm not sure what Firefox will be using.<br />
    The object doesn't have a data attribute to specify the file.<br />
    A separate embed is only needed when you specify a classid in the object.
    <pre><nowiki><div class="bannercontainer">
    <object width="940" height="445" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="images/banner.swf" >
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <param name="movie" value="images/banner.swf" />
    </object>

  • Transferred CS4 to new MacBook Pro, now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. Help!

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my CS4 from my older MacBook Pro to my new computer, and although it seemed to be working fine now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. These fonts are installed on my new computer, can be found in InDesign CS4, and work fine within the program but will not appear in PDFs. The letters turn into rectangles. Does anyone know why, and how to fix that?
    Help/input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
    Kristen.

    you should properly install adobe products, not move, migrate or otherwise transfer them.

  • Partner function not working when creating PO with ref to PReq

    Partner function is not working when creating a Purchase Order with ref to a Purchase Requistion, Partner functions maintained in the vendor master are VN, OA & PI.
    But OA & PI are not appearing in the PO header partner tab when created with ref to PR.
    however it works when i create the PO directly ( without the PR ref )
    I am using the same material & Plant for both manual PO & PR to PO.
    Any idea what could be wrong .
    I have maintained the settings for schema groups for vendor master & purchasing doc in the partner determination.
    Thanks
    Dkmurthy

    Hi,
    I have also an issue that seems similar to one you are discussing.
    When we use ME59N and create a PO with ref. from a PR (created from a sales order), the message determination works well, it reads the condition set in MN04 (condition records for messages), and creates a message (with output type for EDI , medium: 6, and partner function LS: Logical system). Message is created and idoc is sent.
    When we try with ME21N, ME21 and we create the PO with ref. to the same PR, either by entering manually the PR in the document overview of ME21N or by selecting the PR (without entering the PR number), i.e with date, the message is not created in the PO.
    Company code is assigned to purchase organization, and so is purchase organization to plant.
    Any idea why there is no automatic message determination in the case of the transaction: ME21N
    Note: If I try ME21N, and enter the output type and partner, manually, I receive a warning message
    VN006 (Partner XXXX does not exist for partner function LS). If I accept this warning message, then message is saved- idoc is sent. However I can not overcome the warning message, if it plays any role, because I can not assign partner function LS to the vendor.Then I receive message CZ 327 (Can not use this partner role).
    Any input is wellcome.

    Are you talking about the English dictionary?  Mine seems to work ok on the AZ republic web page.  Does yours not work on all webpages?  Does it not work when you type an English word in Notes and then do select and define?

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.
