Transparent video (with 3d model) output

Good morning,
Today I decide to give Photoshop CS4 extended a crack by working with a feature I was waiting on: better 3D controls and animation keyframing. I was easily able to open up the U3D file I was working with, get the animation correct, and render the 3D information for export.
My trouble is that I can't seem to get an export that accomplishes the following:
- A transparent background (even though there are not other layers besides the 3D file), so place in Flash.
- I cannot seem to remove the 3D axis (the one connecting to the 3D object, not the multi-color controller) from the export. It is present in everything I try, and I cannot disable it under the "View" menu.
Any help would surely be appreciated!

PDF Reference version 1.7 ("3D Background Dictionaries", page 812) says: "Currently, only a single opaque color is supported, where the color must be defined in the DeviceRGB color space."
The 3D background dictionary has a Subtype key which is described as follows: "(Optional) The type of background. The only valid value is SC (solid color), which indicates a single opaque color. Default value: SC."
This applies to Acrobat 7.0.7+ or to Acrobat 8.0.

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."

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.

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.
Cheers,
Neale

How do I use my late 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output.

May be this question has been asked thousand times. how do I use my mid 2011 iMac ( with thunderbolt) as external monitor for laptop/Xbox or other device with hdmi as output. if apple hasn't removed that feature and has just moved that functinoality to thunderbolt then how can I use it. currently there is no laptop available with thunderbolt output. no 3rd party converter available. whats the use of having feature on latest functionality if we cant use it. I wish they would have made one port has mini-dvi and other thunderbolt for backward compatibility untill some vendor comes up with converter.

It Says :
Mac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) and iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) and later computers support Target Display Mode via Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable (2 m) when the source is another Thunderbolt-equipped computer.
Name one computer model/vendor which has thunderbolt as output for display + audio. this is so stupid to move to new technology without availbility of its compatible devices.

Transparency Issues with PSD files in FCP 7

I'm having some weird file layer transparency issues with FCP 7. I'm working on a project that's made up entirely of graphics drawn in Photoshop CS5. They Photoshop settings were done to match an HDTV 1080i (16:9) sequence in FCP. In FCP, the pixels were set to square, field dominance to none, frame rate to 29.97 and compressor is Apple ProRes 422.
I exported my PSD files out of Photoshop, with each layer being exported to its own file. In general, things were fine, but there were a few files where you could see the outline of the character against the background, but mind you that this is only visible once the video is rendered out in the FCP timeline. Nothing is visible in Photoshop, nor is it visible while viewing from the Browser in FCP. I told this to the artist and he went back and made corrections, making sure everything was on a transparent background, but the result was still the same - once I rendered the graphics out in FCP, these edge lines were visible.
I then went back into Photoshop, opened all the files that were giving me trouble, clicked on the "foreground color" and changed it to a color other than white, then back to white and hit ok. That seemed to work - even when rendered out, I was getting no artifacts, until I tried enlarging the graphics over 100%.
Also, with some of the same graphics, I was trying to layer them so that a guy was in the foreground with other people and a van behind him in the background. Once again, no problem in Photoshop, but once brought into FCP, the background people were actually being displayed over the main foreground character.
I'm pretty baffled - what to do? I'll attach a photo of the weird lines around the characters. It might be hard to see at this size, but if you download and enlarge it to 300% or so, you'll see what I mean.

Just saw that Adam's original post was an older one. Will keep this here anyway to maybe help the most recent poster.
Sharon
Adam, did you try what David said about pointing to the root folder? Did that work?
When I copy the SD card, I name a new folder on my hard drive something specific, like Smith Wedding. Then I copy everything inside the SD card to that new folder. The first level inside my new folder now has folders for
AVF_INFO
PRIVATE
and on down from there. When you open Log and Transfer, point it to the Smith Wedding folder (of course whatever you have named yours).
ClipWrap2 also works great to convert the files beforehand if you want.
What camera are you using? I have the Sony NX30 and it was giving me fits because the .mts files don't ingest if the clips are longer than 11 min. My problem is that I'm still on FCP 6.0.6. I think 7.0.3 fixed that. But I did find enough work-arounds to keep the camera.
This is a link to the full discussion if you are interested.

I upgraded to imovie 9 and now it wont recognize my sony dcr trv 25 movie camera. I have a conopus coverter that works to inport my video with an s cable but no audio. How do I get imovie 9 to recognize my camera?

I've been to the apple store and they thought my camera was defective but I can input video with my canopus con verter with the s cable . But it has no audio. Imovie 6 recognized my sony movie trv 25 camera and I imported without a problem. I can't find an rca to dv cable for this sony camera which would
let me use my converter box. Can I find and download Imovie 6 , import my movies and then import them to imovie 9???
thanks,
carol

I do not know that camera, but with many, there is a set scheme for the connections, to get things to work. It seems to differ by make/model, but many have found that just by changing the order of turning things on, and invoking the Capture module, things will usually work.
The connections are camera to computer via FW cable, then turn ON camera in proper mode, then launch PrE, then go to Capture. Users have found that their camera will require, say, plug-in, launch PrE, THEN turn ON camera, then launch the Capture module. As you can see, there can be variations in when one does each part of that chain, and it can make a difference. I would sit down with a pad and pencil, and test each possibility. If one works, that would be the scheme that I would then use.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - the only thing that I would NOT do would be to turn ON the camera, prior to connecting via the FW cable. That can cause big issues.

Issue in invalidating the model output node

Hi All,
I have a problem in invalidating the model output node. Below is the description of my approach and problem statement.
REQUIREMENT: We have had the requirement to develop a custom WD java application in MSS which will fetch the appraisal data for each employee selection.
APPROACH: To acheive the same, I have developed the custom WD java application and have associated it with the Standard Employee Search application. I have established the eventing between both the applications, such that on each employee selection in Employee Search, I get the PERNR for the selected employee.
                     I have mapped a local valude node to the UI elements of my custom application. I am having TWO RFCs; one to Read data based on PERNR and the other to Update/Save to R/3.
                     I read the RFC based on PERNR and save it to local value node which is binded to the UI elements. If the end user is editing the read data, I am passing the entire local value node to the Save RFC import parameter on click of Save button in my application.
                     Every thing is working as expected. I am able to Read and Save the data and its also updating the backend. But, in the same session, if I go back to the previously selected employee for whom the updation has happened, i am not able to see the new data.
                     Only when I refresh the session, I see the new data on employee selection. When I try to invalidate the Read Output Model node, on Save button, I do not see anything happening. The Read Output Model node always holds the old value.
                     I have currently binded the Read model output node to a table in the view to see what it holds in runtime. And what I see is , its always having the old record for the same employee, in the same session even after invalidating the same on Save button.
I request you all to pleae try to understand the issue and let me know as how to get the new values in the same session.
Regards
DK

Hi,
When you are executing the read rfc ?? At the time of executing the read rfc try to bind the new object every time you execute and see what happens.
Like..
wdContext.node<READ_RFC_NODE>().bind(OBJECT of READ RFC);
then execute it.
Is there some kind of table which shows the employees and on selection you are showing the data? Can you give some more input on how you are reading the data?
Best Wishes

How to fix audio of a video captured from DV output of camcorder using Adobe Premiere Elements 8?

Hello,
I purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 8 about one week ago. I installed it and everything seem to work well in my first project. I am new at editing videos but I was succesful in testing it by loading an existing video file in avi format from my computer and then doing some very basic editing (I splitted 2 scenes and added a title).
After my first succesful project (described above) I started a brand new project. Here, I want to capture a one hour video from the dv output of a video camera. So I connected the camera to the PC and then started adobe elements 8. Before starting the capture I only checked the boxes that said "capture video" and "capture audio" (the other 2 boxes that said download to timeline and autoanalyze were left unchecked). After that I started the capture process.
After the video capture was completed, a small window opened at the bottom saying that a PEAK FILE was being generated. After the peak file generation finished, I looked at the captured video. The video looked perfect. However the audio of the video was too fast. By this, I mean that the voices of the people in the movie were like they were speaking at more than twice the normal speed. Or to explain it in a different way, they sounded like the chipmunks.
So now I come to the question of this thread I started. Is there a way that I can fix the audio part of the video I captured? I will appreciate any help on this. Below I listed a few additional details in case this is needed.
Thanks,
ronel_8
PS. Here are some more details about my system:
1) Operating System: Windows XP
2) I am capturing the video on an external drive with 40 GB of available space. The external drive is connected to a PC via a USB connection.
3) Computer CPU: 2.4 GHZ
4) Computer RAM: 1.25 GB
5) Video tape is about one hour long.

Hello Bill and Steve,
Your responses are very helpful. Although I was not able to fix the problem yet I do seem to think from what you both say that my system may be too slow to capture the one hour video. In any case I will copy below more details about the system as you requested:
1) Results from running Gspot:
The audio section of the Gspot window was blank. That is, no information was there. The File and Container sections say:
File Size: 12.6 GB
Note: 7.63 GB unneeded bytes at the end of the file
DV Type1 AVI
2) I did run the Gspot on another good avi file (captured to the PC with same camcorder) and says:
Codec PCM Audio
32kHz 1024 kb/s tot (2 chnls).
I suppose these are the audio settings from the camera.
3) Yes, I am capturing video from a miniDV camcorder (JVC GR-D70U).
4) I did not defragment the external drive prior to capturing the video with the audi problem. So I will give that I try and see if it solves the problem.
5) The external drive I am using is formatted to NTFS.
6) The computer is a Dell Dimension 2400, CPU: 2.4 GHZ, RAM: 1.25 GB
7) HDD Size=74GB and 11 GB of free space. But I am downloading video to external drive that has 60 GB free space.
One last piece of information that may be useful. If I open the AVI file (that I captured with Adobe Premiere Elements) with Windows Media Player, the audi sounds good. However if I open it with Adobe it has the problem I mentioned in my previous e-mail.
I'll aprreciate any further hints.
Thanks again,
ronel_8

Only black screen on the external monitor with intel-virtual-output

Hello,
I tried to install bumblebee on my Lenovo W520 with this tutorial:
http://www.unixreich.com/blog/2013/linu … ly-solved/
I can activate my external monitor with "intel-virtual-output" and the monitor is switching on. But I can only see a black screen.

Have you any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

How to export a video with 32 bits ?

Hello everyone
First of all, I'm french so I'm sorry if there are mistakes in my sentences.
I'm experiencing some difficulties with exporting my first short film with Premiere Pro properly.
I want the output to be a .avi file in 32 bits. Unfortunately, when I'm in the export settings window, there are no video codecs allowing the output to be in 32 bits (all the video codecs leads to 8 bits, or 16 bits, or 24 bits, but none of them go further). Therefore, in the "video codecs" form I'm compelled to select "None", and that gives me a 32 bits output that is enormous : 95 go for a 7'30" video...
Of course it's too big, and I can't upload it on vimeo, or either burn any DVD with it.
Do you know if there's a way I can export my project to a 32 bits video, but in a reasonable size ?
Thank you very much for your attention.
Best regards,
Damien

I would not count on a reasonble file size but Cineform offers 32 bits.
So does Lagarith if you have it installed.
Quicktime None, Animations and JPEG2000 offer 32 bits
Why do you want 32 bits, no good for vimeo or dvd.
Vimeo prefers mp4 and dvd mpeg2-dvd.

Problem with distribution model receiver ports

Hi,
I am facing a problem with distribution model.
I am using Distribution model for material classification data. I am sending my classification data using CLFMAS message type to one of the receiver. Again another person also sending classification data to another receiver.
But both objects will run at different times.
Problem is for every run and every change it is creating 2 idocs instead of 1 idoc.
I am able to create an IDOC with my changes for classifications. But it is creating 2 idocu2019s instead of creating 1 idoc. Because of there is another distribution model with same message type with different receiver port has been configured. I.e. reason it is creating 2 idocu2019s and sending to both the revivers.
When I run my changes It needs to create 1 idoc and send to my receiver port. If another person run his job it needs to create another idoc.
So how will I filter distribution model based on receiver port? it needs to create only 1 IDOC ..

Hi kotesh,
A similar issue.
check if this will help.
Do the following:
Go to TOOLS>ALE Development>IDoc Type Development> WE81 and create a new message type and give it a different name - say ORDERS2. Use WE82 to link it to an IDoc Type - say ORDERS05. So now you will have two message types linked to the same IDoc type. Each message type can now be referred in different logical systems without any clashes.
Now you can use BD64 to build your model using message types ORDERS and ORDERS2 without getting the multiple recepient error message.
Then use WE20 to set up each partner profile using your defined output conditions in message control to trigger the creation of the IDoc. Now you will beable to send the same Idoc type to different recepients.

Transparent page with outlined font for motion 5

I am trying to follow this tutorial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scbXhiZy8uA
I need to create exactly what he does in the first minute of the video. A transparent background with outlined texts, I have the script nescessary to create the effect. I have zero experience with illustrator. Can someone provide a detailed step process or provide links to videos that will solve my problem.
Please watch the video to understand exactly what im having trouble with. Thank you.

What is your problem you forgot to mention it.
Keep in mind the background in illustrator is always transparent and you physically need to add a shape to fill it. The white background is just to make it easier to see the lines. You can turn on and off the checkboard pattern as you like (View>Show transparent grid) or ctrl-shift-d(windows)cmd-shift-d(mac)

Poor quality image with doing videos with photos/images HELP!

Hello,
I bought Adobe Premiere Element to make videos with pictures. When I do the video, the quality of my photos is good. When I save the video on my computer or I download it on youtube (example) the quality of my photos is extremely poor. Why? Does anyone can help me? Thank you!

What Project Preset did you choose at New Project? In the case of Video, composed of Still Images ONLY, you would set that to your desired delivery specs. Not so, if you are also using Video. I tried several types of parameters. Some parameters give poor quality when I upload it to Youtube (for example) and others in the design of video and upload to YouTube. So which settings should I use for photos only ?
This sounds like you are talking about the Export/Share settings for output to YouTube.
What I was asking is what did you start off with, when you were at New Project?
If you are doing an SD Project, you will have either 720 x 480 (NTSC), or 720 x 576 (PAL) pixels in the Project's Frame Size. If that is what you want, then I would Scale your camera original Stills to 640 x 480 (for NTSC), as you have Square Pixels, and the Project will have either 0.9 for NTSC Standard, or 1.21 for NTSC Widescreen).
PrE can Scale the Still Images, but the Scaling algorithms in Photoshop are much better, and offer more control.
Now, if you wish to do an HD Project, just choose that as your Preset, and then use the Images in about their original size. Note, there will be some black borders, as the screen-caps most likely have a different Aspect Ratio, than a Video Project, which for HD will be 16:9. Especially with screen-caps, that are pretty low resolution to begin with, I would NOT do any Scaling, and would live with the letterboxing, or pillar boxing, rather than Scale and effectively Crop.
Also, when Scaling in Photoshop, I do not Save_As JPEG, as it introduces compression, but only as either PSD (Photoshop's native format), or PNG.
Good luck,
Hunt
