Transparent Flash has black background

I have a video flash file created in Premiere Pro CS4 which I keyed out the background, exported as a FLV/F4V with an encoded alpha channel. I place the flash on a JPG in Dreamweaver CS4 and want the movie to run transparent, but I always get a black box surrounding my movie. I use the "wmode" as "transparent" in the flash dialog box, but this does not eliminate the black background around the movie. Any suggestions?

Transparency with *.flv's works for me when I place the background on the bottom layer in the Flash program project (*.fla) and place the video on the layer above, in the Flash program project. Publish this "Flash Movie" from Flash and cut and paste the Flash code from the "Published" HTML page into either the table cell or div on your final Dreamweaver page depending upon whether you are building an "old school" table based page or a CSS based page.
If you are creating one of those "floating" over the top, Web page movies, someone in the Flash or Dreamweaver forum should be able to help you with that.
Also, in Premiere, you should be working in a "Desktop mode" sequence with "Square pixels" selected.
Here are the settings to get the flv to encode with an alpha channel:

Using Photoshop elements 11 on a PC, when I put new photo on screen to edit the background goes to black which messes me up when making a thumbnail that has black background. How do I get the background to white as it was originally?

Using Adobe photoshop elements 11 on a PC. When I put a photo up to edit the background on the page goes black. I need it to go back to white to do a thumbnail that has black background so I can see it. How do I do that. It used to be white on the background. Don't know how I got it all black. Can you help?

If you mean by "background" the blank work area that presents when you open the Editor, then right click on it and reset to white.
If I have this wrong, please rephrase your inquiry.

Imported .gif has black background

Hello All,
I imported a .gif with a transparent background but when I try to use the logo in cs4 premiere Pro it has a black background. I can't figure out how to take out the black background. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

What you saw in my example was the Program Monitor expanded beyond the Frame Size of the Assets. If you are seeing black surrounding, then there is probably an issue between the Project/Sequence Preset and the actual source footage. Now, this might take a bit of interpolation, as there are some major changes between my PrPro 2.0, and CS4, but it should be similar enough that you can fill in the blanks, if I am clear enough. Or, it could just be a difference between the GUI in CS4 vs my PrPro 2.0.
For me, Presets apply to entire Projects. For you, they can be applied to individual Sequences. If I need to find out what Preset was used (and any custom settings, should I have chosen Desktop), I would go to Project (in the Toolbar), and look at Project Settings. You should be able to do the same from the Sequence in the Toolbar. That should give you all of the settings. You can then Rt-click on your AV Asset and choose Properties. These should match in every respect.
Now to the GIF. When you drag it to a Video Track, higher than your Video Clip, you still get that black background? This is not when used on a Title, but just as an Asset on the Timeline. Are there any Effects applied to the Logo?
One more question: are you observing the display in the Program Monitor, and not in the Source Monitor. They look very similar, but are different displays. To get to the Program Monitor, if it is not Open, go to Window>Program Monitor. Note: it might be docked in a Pane, with other Monitors, or Panels, so you might need to find its tab, and click on that. To view in the Program Monitor, you will just drag the CTI (Current Time Indicator w/ the red Edit Line extending down from it) so that it is over both your GIF and also your Video Asset (on a lover Video Track). This will then display in the Program Monitor.
I did not alter the GIF that you attached, in any way - no Scaling, no Effects, no Motion - just Import and drag into position. I am puzzled why this is not working exactly the same way for you.
Now, Colin mentioned the Alpha Channel and its checkbox. Have you followed his directions there? I keep Use Alpha Channel checked, and had not even though about that.
Good luck, and please let us know what you find out,

Toolbar button has black background in GW 7

Hi
My C3PO workds beautifully, but not in GW 7. The toolbar button has a
black background in GW 7 but when I run it with 6.5 or under, it works
fine.
I am also calling Documentum components from the GW client and some of
these forms have a black background in some of the textboxes. Very strange!
Does any one have a clue?
Thanks

Hi
Ok I found it. You have to make the background of your image red. This is
somehow used as a transparent colour in GW 7.

Odd frames when printing transparency PSD on black background on Illustrator CS4

I don't know why but any PSD file that have transparency in it and placed on an illustrator document, printed with those frames around it (see example JPEG file that I added). I tried to print directly to the printer and got those frames. I tried to create a postscript before and then PDF throe the distiller and still, the PDF print those frames. You can see the PDF that I added and examine it. You will see under the "output preview" that the parameters of the black background is the same around.
What is that?!

I can't use RGB profile if I want to be precise with my works.
I found the problem and how to fix it.
I think it is a problem with the RIP of the printer. The printer receive vector, raster and transparency object together and needs to flatten to a single image - it doesn't succeed.
So, if I send to the printer from Illustrator, under "Advanced" I use customize pref. by tuning it to all raster and not vector at all the print printed good.
It's so primitive and stupid that with a new printer I still need to do the RIP with the application.

How do you create transparent text with black background in LiveType for use in Final Cut??

I would like to bring in movies or projects from LT that have transparent text ("alpha" layer?) and a solid background. The goal is to layer fcp video under the animated text generated in LT so that the video layer fills the transparent text layer. I know you can matte to movie or image in LT, but would prefer to do this in FCP. Long story short, need a text transparency from LT. Thanks!

Video track 1: Your background.
Video track 2: White text on a black background.
Video track 3: The fill image for the letters.
Right click on the clip on track 3. From the drop down menu, choose Composite Mode > Travel Matte Luma.

After Update Cisco Prime Infrastructure from 1.3 to 2.0 imported floor plans has black background

Hello everybody,
we have updated cisco prime infrastructure from 1.3 to 2.0. When we now import a floor plan (autocad-file, dwg-format), the background from finally image, that is show in prime, is black. Previous imported floor planes has a white background. We also tried to import a previous imported floor plan again, the background is now black. Is there a possibilty to change the background to white? Thanks

Hi,
Look no further, these issues are related to know bugs. It seems that autocad files have multiple issues with PI 2.0, Only feasible way is to convert them to JPGs and import them. Lets hope these will get fixed to the level they where at PI 1.3.
CSCuj63017, PI 2.0 dwg(AutoCAD file) import reports Tailormade is for Demo use only
Symptom:
When dwg files are imported to Prime Infrastructure, they report
"For Demonstration Purposes only
Tailor made software"
Conditions:
Prime Infrastructure - 2.0.0.0.294
Use of dwg (Auto cad) files
Workaround:
None at this time
Further Problem Description:
CSCuj94500, Loading DWG floor maps on PI 2.0 appears in black background
Symptom:
On PI 2.0 when we try to import autoCAD .dwg file to map, the map appears in black background.
Conditions:
On PI 2.0 when we try to import autoCAD .dwg file to map
Workaround:
use 3rd party tool like Draftsight or AutoCAD Trueview to change the file to .jpg and import again to PI, after that the map appear in white background in PI 2.0.
Further Problem Description:
However, the same .dwg file when we imported it to PI 1.3 appear in map with white background.

ITunes 11 has black background with black text

I had previously set iTunes to use the dark grid theme. Now I've upgraded to itunes 11 but i'm stuck with cases where I have a black background and black text with no preferences option to fix it. (the same problem I had with the previous itunes version, even when i tried selecting a different theme it wouldn't change)
examples include the downloads window
And views like album view that the text changes color based on the album art, and the background is supposed to too but mine doesn't, so sometimes the icons/text will be unreadable. Like the close, play, shuffle, etc buttons in the screen shot below.
I have tried retinstalling iTunes several times between 10.6 and 11 to fix various bugs but it's never worked properly.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Very Big thank you All of you for your help !!! It's been an hour that I didn't know what to do to see which songs to chooses because of the grey typo on black background !!! Merci
En français : si vous visualisez les chansons d'itunes 11 en gris sur fond noir ou en noir sur fond noir et que itunes 11 est illisible donc, il faut simplement aller dans le terminal et coller cette ligne, cela réinitialisera les paramètres de contrastes d'itunes :
defaults write com.apple.iTunes high-contrast-mode-enable -bool FALSE
Enfin sauvée après une heure de galère à chercher partout comment changer la skin de itunes 11 alors que c'était en fait un bug d'affichage !!!

Copying images with transparency produces a black background.

When images are copied from Firefox and pasted elsewhere (Paint, PSP, Photoship, etc.) any transparency becomes opaque black. This makes it difficult to edit the image if the transparency was near black pixels. Is there any way to change the colour to something else, or at least, white?

No, you will have to save the image to disk and open the file in your image editor. You can try if it works if you drag the file in the editor.

Flash player updated 11 ,transparent swf become black background.

Exracting a transparent image from black background

Hey all! A little bit confused on a project. I have an image that is semi-transparent. I am able to take the black out of the background around it, but am unsure about how to remove the acutal background from behind the image. I need to superimpose this image onto another-hence the background change. Any tips or ideas? I have the newest version of PS. Please help!
Kind regards,

JAI - Saved image has black background (unless screen config is True Color)

Hi!
I'm trying to save images using JAI's codecs. Everything is okay if screen config is True Color, but if in 256 colors (or even in 65536 colors) the background of my images looks very dark...
Can you please have a look at the code bellow (and try it with some different screen configs). I'm really stuck with that issue; any suggestion may help...
NOTE:
- I've noticed this problem when using JAI's jpeg codec.
- The problem occurs with both JDK 1.3 and 1.4.
- The problem does not occur (only) if screen config is True Color.
- You must rerun the code after changing screen config.
Thanks for help...

PDF has black background

When I import a PDF, all of the text areas are black. Images are fine. Same with more than 75 PDF files. Perhaps I am doing something wrong?

Please don't think my tardiness in answering is lack of interest. This is an on-going 'background' project here in the office as we attempt to post some PDFs.
These are all taken from an 'ePaper' version of the newspaper where I write a weekly column. I wanted to make the columns available to people as PDFs, not as tiff, for all of the usual reasons. Should be simple, right?
But this is proving to be more difficult than I imagined.
I thought about converting to tiff and then using linked smaller images; people would click on the preview and download the pdf. But this can be onerous when you have a lot to do and a lot to keep doing. And it obviates the use of Aperture, which is how we handle all images; the workflow that I imagined involves adding the PDF files to Aperture each week, and then publishing to a gallery. Sweet.
Not sure what direction to go now, though.

Pdf into Aperture has black background

Hi All.
I am importing pdf's into Aperture and the background seems to come in black in an odd way. These were originally produced out of AutoCad.
Does anyone know if there is a Mac workaround for this or if I have a setting wrong somewhere?
Also, can I get a multipage pdf into Aperture?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Guys.
It is supposed to have a white background.
The problem is that I am sorting images in Aperture to make a slide presentation in Keynote.
Perhaps I have to bring it directly into Keynote??
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jon
