Save a video with trasparent background

is there a way in after effects to save a video with trasparent background? i know that only mov and avi supports it...
but how can i do this in AE?

im following some video on YT but everyone say
create new composition
write something on the screen
render the video using alpha + rgb but they don't show results...
if i remove the background deactivating the transparent grid, when i render the video if i open it i will have always my background... even if i choose another BG colour if i render following these tutorials i will see always my background...
can someone post here a guide or write a little guide on how to write something on a trasparent layer that will be saved on a trasparent layer?

With what program are you working and with what version of the program and on what computer operating system?
I suspect that you are working with some version of Photoshop Elements. If that is correct, then be advised that some how
your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing) instead of the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum (photo editing).
If Photoshop Elements question, then please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator

Thought....if are creating an image on a transparent background in Photoshop Elements Windows for a Premiere Elements Windows project, then you Save As png or psd.
Please clarify if I have misinterpreted your question.

Exporting to FLV with trasparent background

Hello all,
I am finding myself in a bit of a delema...I have hundreds of little movie clips with trasparent backgrounds that need to be exported as FLV's. From my experience (or lack there of) and knowledge, to find the best export settings to create a FLV that looks good with the lowest file size comes down to the good old trial and error method. I've tried numerous different settings and to be quite honest, I can't really tell that big of a difference in the video when it's be exported at 200 kbps compared to 600 kbps. Maybe I'm blind. But, I do notice the size of the file(s) go up quite a bit.
The quesions are...
1. When exporting to FLV's with transparentcys, is it worth it to crop the frame size? I've tried this a few different times and in fact noticed the file size go up after cropping the frame size. One would think that the a file that is "smaller" in dimensions would be smaller in size. Although, I guess it's more about the information being translated in the video.
2. Is there a trick to this exporting to FLV beast?
Thanks in advance!

I'm kind of wondering if it might be better to just include the backgrounds into the videos and export them as H.264
That would be an option. It really depends on what the page looks like that you'd be embedding these into. That's the nice thing about the transparency--you only really have to be concerned with the foreground. But, if your page is something simple, like a solid color, you'd probably get the same visual result by putting a color solid behind your keyed subject in Premiere, and exporting to a non-alpha clip, like an H.264 MP4.
do you know if you can dynamically load H.264 into a swf?
Umm... no I'm just a measly video guy
Seriously, though, you may want to have a look at F4V; that will probably do exactly what you need, as it's H.264 compressed video in an Adobe-ized container format. It's available in the FLV/F4V options you've been working with. Just note that, since it's H.264, it does not support an alpha channel.
Or, could I export to H.264, import the H.264 file back into Premiere and re-export as a flv? I assume I'd still be stuck in the same position at the end of all of that though...
Worse You'll have applied a second round of compression rather needlessly. You can use some third-party trickery to rewrap an H.264 stream into an FLV--I've actually done this before for HTTP pseudo-streaming web videos--but you still won't have alpha.
I think this is just a matter of deciding how you want to fit the videos into the rest of the design. If it were me, and I had the flexibility, e.g. a solid background, I'd forgo FLV and use H.264 in an MP4 container or F4V instead.

Can I turn greenscreen video into video with transparent background (instead of default black backgr

Can I turn greenscreen video into video with transparent background to overlay on another video in another program. probably export as avi. I know I can in after effects but comfortable with premiere. basically want to turn the greenscreen from a black to transparent background ppro cs6 windows
[ email address removed by forum host ]

Harm is correct. It would be better to edit in the program where you keyed out the green. However, if you really must ...
DPX is one file per frame. While you may not be able to open it from Windows, it is only because Windwos has not been told to open them in Photoshop.
The whole point of the DPX file is to have a visually lossless storage of your frames that is designed to be used between applications (just what you want to do): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Picture_Exchange
However, if you prefer to use another option that you are more comfortable with, you can use PNG.
Or...
If you insist on a single video, use the Animation codec for Quicktime.
In any case, you need a picture format or video CODEC that can store an Alpha Channel.
Or.....
Export the video with the black and use a Luma key in the next application.
Or ...
Export the video with the black, and then export a video of just the alpha channel as a blabk and white image where black is transparent when used as a track matte, and then in the next application use the video of the alpha channel as a track matte.
Since you haven't said what the other application is or why you want to use it, we are having a little trouble offering a specific solution.

Video with Transparent background

Hi I am trying to create a video through Adobe Premiere Elemements 10 that has a transparent background.
I need it to be in .FLV, .SWF or .MP4 format.
I have created the alpha etc but i think i am not exporting it correctly.
Can anyone explain the steps for creating the video with transparent background and how to export it for those file types please?
thanks.

I've not used the software, as I said a quick google threw it up. From looking at their further screens (http://www.increditools.com/flash_video_studio/features.php#flash8alpha) and (http://www.increditools.com/flash_video_studio/samples.php#flash8alpha) a probable workflow would be to create an original in PRE against your green screen and export this as DV (for standard resolution) or HDV (for HiDef). Once in the Flash software it is probably then just a case of using an eyedropper to turn your green screen transparent.
However your best option would be to install it and play around. Looking at their FAQ, similarly to the PRE trial, it installs as a trial version that will place a watermark across your finished video.
If you do try it out please be sure to post back here about its effectiveness - it may help others.

Why is Safari 5.1.7 for Windows the only browser that displays video with gray background, when it's white in four other browsers?

Hello all,
Here's my coding obstacle to overcome with Safari in my local dev environment using Windows 7 32-bit and wamp server. I created a pretty straightforward one and a half minute animation in Flash with a white background. Then I exported it as both an swf and avi video, then I encoded to several different file formats - ogg, mp4, and webm. Firefox 19, Chrome 24, and Opera 12 all play the webm file correctly showing the video's white background as expected, and IE 10 plays the mp4 correctly.
However, when Safari 5.1.7 plays one of these files that I can't distinguish (because right click functionality displays nothing), the video's background property is changed to (gray) throughout the video instead of white. What the?
Can someone please provide a workaround?

Yes, I am still having the automatic tab reloading and I am ******* sick of it.
I have lost count of how much work I have lost because of it.
I have 8 GB of perfect new RAM and tonnes of SSD HD space, I have tried reinstalling the OS etc and every fix on the internet (no (SP) mode does not work, nor does switching Java off etc, it's not an extension nor corrupted anything ... it's an uncontrollable fault with Safari).
Why does it keep happening !?!
And I am so sick of Apple not acknowledging this and responding to it.
What triggers it ... it is a built memory or cache limitation? It is a plain and simple crash?
How do I debug it to find out?
It strikes me that 20 years after the internet went public Apple ... despite all their billions and open source developers working for free ... still cannot make a browser that does not crash and so they decided to make a browser that *appears* not to crash ... except that it *does* ... only now the facade remains erect but everything else behind it crashes causing all tabs to reload, and videos and music start to play.
And there is no way to stop it doing so.
The most key app of our day and it is a POS.

Export Flash Video With Transparent Background

Is it possible to export an After Effects Comp to a Flash Video with a transparent background?
I have made a simple animation with no background. I'd like to export the Flash Video to go on a web site. I'd like to keep the background transparent.
Can this be done, and is there a checklist of what I need to select in "Make Movie"?
Thanks!

from "Render and export a composition as an FLV or F4V file":
"To include the alpha channel in the FLV output, use the On2 VP6 codec and select Encode Alpha Channel in the Video tab of the export settings dialog box."

ISight videos with heavy background noise

Hi,
Last 2 mths, whenever I try to record something using the internal mic on iSight there is a heavy heavy distortion/background noise. My voice gets recorded over this heavy noise.
This is the link. Please take a look.

But when I connect an external mic....the noise disappears.
Can someone please help me?......

You're welcome, and thanks for the new info.
We are trying to determine whether your trouble is in your hardware (which would require repair by a technician) or is a problem in an individual application, user account, or perhaps even some system software component that you might be able to correct on your own.
I did not specifically ask that you do so earlier, but you should create another user account now. More than one account will allow you to test to determine whether the problem is limited to your original (administrator) user account. If you need instructions for how to create a new account, search your MacBook's Finder > Help for "new user account" (without quotation marks.)
Having created the new user account, you can try all of the following suggestions:
(0) If the noise is not there when you play any other YouTube videos, you can be sure the problem is not with your audio output circuitry or speakers.
(1) Built-in iSight has no microphone of its own; it uses your Mac's built-in mic for sound input. Based on the info you have posted to date, your MB's built-in mic may have hardware problems.
You can test this by checking whether your saved clips that use your Mac's inbuilt mic have the same noise regardless of: (a) whether or not you are making any sounds during the recording, (b) whether you record using either Photo Booth or iMovie to record an iSight video clip, and (c) whether your try these tests in either your original or newly created user account.
Unless the problem is the same in all these tests, note any difference you encounter so you can tell the technician (in the event that professional service is eventually determined to be necessary.)
(2) You could download and apply the 10.5.8 COMBO update:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
Use your MacBook's Disk Utility to repair permissions before the update and again IMMEDIATELY after the restart that finishes the installation.
Then test again to see if the problem persists.
Although I doubt that it will correct your particular problem, properly applying the Combo Update costs nothing but a bit of time, and it has been reported to correct a variety of strange problems for many of us users.
(3) If none of the suggestions you get here resolves your problem, and if the problem never appears when you use your external mic, your problem seems likely to be a hardware problem in your MacBook.
In that case, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
I suggest that you backup all your important files before relinquishing your Mac for service.

Save video with contrast adjustment?

Hello!
I've searched for this on many sites, and can't seem to find an answer, not even in the Quicktime manual. I am using Quicktime Pro 7.4.5, and have a black and white music video. I need to bump up the contrast slightly to make the black darker. I can achieve this in the Audio / Video settings for playback, but is there a way to save the video with these settings? I've had no luck doing so, so far.
Any help, or another way to achieve this would be helpful!
Thanks in advance!

A/V Control settings are not saved with the file.
QuickTime Pro has some built in filters but that would require an export. You don't want to compress an already compressed file.

Photos with transparent background weird issue in album

There is something very strange happening
What I did
I saved two images that had transparent background
When I view it in my photo album the thumbnail shows the image but for the "background" it is some other random photo that isn't even in my camera roll! It just shows up only when I save these images with transparent background. This happened for two images and the photos showing up are different (from the same night because I can see who is in it).
When I view these images larger, the background photos do not appear , so it is very strange
I took a screen shot of this too and would like to send to apple support

I would not really expect AppleTv to handle transparency in an image, though maybe it does and this is some kind of bug.
I would regard transparency handling as a non-basic feature to be honest, one that the majority of users will not expect to use or use.
Does iPhoto handle transparency properly?
Send feedback to:

It may be something they can add fairly easily, but it may not either.

Saving image and layer separately with transparent background

I have a photo with a layer and I am trying to save two images (main photo and layer) with transparent background. I am able to save the main photo with transparent background but somehow not able to save the layer with transparent background despite selecting the option while saving as PNG. Any help will be appreciated?

OK... I'm probably not being clear.
When I import the PDF, I get a typical architect's line drawing as shown below. So the background is displaying as white. In Corel, when you save a GIF or a PNG, you can specify that -everything- that is the 'background colour' is rendered as transparent. IOW: there's no need to erase the 'white' pixels; they are auto-magically converted to transparent.
But in PS (CS4), no matter what I try, the rendered PNG or GIFs show as white, rather than transparent.
Is there a way to have this same behaviour in PS? Or do I first have to use the erase or background erase tools to get rid of the white?

Extract part of image & save with transparent background

What is the best way to extract part of an image & save it with a transparent background? I had hoped to the extracted images in 2 different ways.
Firstly just to paste into another image.
Secondly I'd like to try to open both the extracted item as well as the whole original photo in different video editing programs including Premiere Elements & sony Vegas. What is the best way to do this?

Here's what you could do.
First make sure you have both images open in editor
1. Open the image and select the area using the magnetic lasso/quick selection tool.
2. Select Layer -> New -> Layer Via Copy
3. Now in the layers palette, right click the layer and select 'Dulicate Layer'
4. In the duplicate layer dialog, in document - select the other image, where you would like to paste the image to.
5. You and ajust the poition of the pasted area/resize it using the move tool or transform tool (Ctrl + T).
6. Save the image with a new name
If you simply want to save the image with transparency (after step #2) - you may -
> hide the previous layer and Save the image as a png/gif so transparency is presereved.
Hope that helps.
When you have teh saved documents you can open them up in different editors.
Regards,

I would be glad for the opportunity to customize a Premiere Elements 12 answer to your Premiere Elements 12 issue.
But, I want to make sure that we are together on the details. This is my understanding of what you have written. Please review and let me
know if I am misinterpreting anything that you have written.
You have a video created in Windows Movie Maker.
How did you output the video from Windows Movie Maker...wmv or mp4, what was the frame size and frame rate of that export?
Next you import that video into Premiere Elements 12 (can we assume that this is on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit?)
From what you wrote, you have applied a pan and zoom effect to your video in Premiere Elements.
Now you go to export the Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content with your video with the pan and zoom applied.
But, the pan and zoom effect is not seen in playback of the export.
Is all of the above correct so far?
If so....we are going to need some more details from you...
a. What is the project preset that you or the project are setting to match the properties of the video coming from Movie maker? See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Rate, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out.
b. Are you applying the pan and zoom effect with the Pan and Zoom Tool, fx Effects Presets, or keyframing the Scale (for Zoom) and
Position (for Pan) in the Motion Panel expanded?
c. What are you selecting as your export in Publish+Share/. Please give details...are you using default settings or customizing the export
setting under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset selected?
I am suspecting some sort of mismatch of your project settings or some problems with working with the Pan and Zoom tool. I need
your answers to help me help you. If I have written anything that you do not understand, please let me know. I will re-write if necessary
so that we are in sync to resolve the issue.
Thanks.
