An Alpha channel in 5 motion editing

• The Alpha channel is recognized in a motion Menu?

  I am trying to use a video from Digital Juice as my animated menu background, but the alpha channel is not recognized.  It shows the black color instead of transparency.  I am compiling in the form of Quicktime with Alpha movie.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Lol you can use a background of movement or the background in the Menu of Photoshop, you can't use both. If you use a background of movement, the Photoshop Menu background is replaced by the video motion, and the buttons are rendered above it.

• How to properly edit a selection before the economy like an alpha channel?

  I thought I could just use QuickMask to paint manually with 100% black or white to 100% to set the boundaries of the selection and then save this final selection under my alpha channel.

  However, I discovered that when I do that, I end up finding a strange artificat ish (which by the way, I can't understand how to remove it).

  I would be grateful if someone could tell me how I should be correctly change the selection before you actually save it.

  Thank you!

• Problem with Alpha channel on AfterEffects composition

  Hello

  I'm editing a short film called 'Lost In Time' and one of the sequences is supposed to reflect a 1920s silent film, but Adobe AfterEffect records the images as color, even if on Premiere Pro, it was published in black and white.

  I tried to turn off the alpha channel, but it won't let me click on 'interpret the film' in the file menu of the sequence on the composition and I can't edit each clip manually in black and white because everything is in a sequence. Assembly of the entire sequence in black and white is not an option either because the 70s Film Noir scenes are also in the same room and are supposed to be full color. So how do AfterEffects to recognize the 20 silent film as in black and white?

  You have two choices. Shoot the film in black and white in After Effects and add film damage or restores the section black and white Prime Minister then apply film and AE damage. Almost all the effects, you first add will not come in AE using dynamic links, because they are not compatible. The only thing that you can do about it, it is to make your footage or all the effects work in AE.

  It is a workflow problem not a bug.

• Titles of lower thirds on transparent background in After Effects will not export with Alpha channel

  I created titles of lower thirds in After Effects CS6 on an iMac Yosemite 10.10.5 running with a transparent background.  I want to make this file to be used as overlay on a video editing with Final Cut Pro.  I chose RGB + Alpha in the rendering stack, but it does not work to preserve transparency, and titles are degraded as well.  Is there a solution for this?  I also tried the CS6 Adobe Media Encoder, with no better luck.  Please notify.

  Use your ProRes 4444 codecs.  PNG, or Animation.  No other file QT supports alpha channels.

• Change an alpha channel

  Once I have create an alpha channel, how to edit it?  I tried by selecting and clicking on the alpha channel and then using the Brush tool.  I understand that if I have a white foreground, painting should take away part of the mask, while a black background should translate into paint, adding to the mask.  But often, nothing seems to happen when I paint.  Or, at other times, the painting translates to paint on my image but don't marks not affect "mobile dash" and therefore does not affect the mask. I already checked that my color K setting is 0 for white and 100 for blacks.  With the help of the CS5 13.0 x 64 with Windows 7 version.

  My apologies for the newbie question.  I must be missing something very obvious.  I googled this and haven't found anything useful.  (Maybe I'm looking at the wrong words.)

  

  One thing I see is that you have made your selection of active sky channels, so you won't really the active selection when you paint on the channels.

  Selections (ants in market) are not changed in this way.

  Try to select > deselect and then paint on the channels.

  Then you can Ctrl (Cmd) click on the channel thumbnail in the Panel layers for a walk new selection of ants that reflects your painting of the channel.

  (or click the load channel as selection at the bottom of the Panel channels)

• Images added to the timeline lost their alpha channel

  Hello

  I use first elements 11.0 and added a few png-imags chronology (in another channel the film imported). Each image has a completely opaque pixels and a part with completely transparent pixels. Initially, he appeared fine exactly as I wanted it. But when I added the fourth table, or so, all transparent pixels in black images.

  Images look exactly the same source. I tried to save their new with Photoshop and Paint.NET. I tried to delete a photo and add it again. I tried the first Elements of closing and opening it again. Somehow, nothing worked.

  I checked him 'interpret' the film - window and there is no check mark in front of 'Ignore Alpha Channel' for one of the images.

  I hope someone here can help me ;-).

  Thank you

  Why workded the first several of PNG, but has stopped working, is a mystery to me. The only thing I can think of would be if the pixel x pixel size of those of PNG is large, there may be a problem of resources, when enough are added to the timeline. What are pixel x pixel size of PNG?

  The film and all the images have a resolution of 1920 x 1080. I use Windows 7 Professional x 64 with 8 GB of RAM on an SSD. All project files are found on my HARD drive (internal).

  In the meantime, it is good that you have the solution to workaround to use PSD with transparency, to get your project done, but I am surprised by the behavior of your exposed PNG. A riddle for me.

  That's what I did: I opened the png files in Photoshop CS 6 and saved once again that the psd files. Then, I used 'Replace the sequences' in Premiere Elements to swap files png to psd files. It did not work, the transparent pixels in fact everything went black.

  I wrote that I had success with a new psd file - not with the images I actually wanted to use.

  I don't really know why, but I had to recreate the images from scratch again once (Fortunately, it wasn't that difficult or time-consuming). I saved them as png again files (because I do not really see any reason why that should not work) and imported. This time it worked as it was supposed to. But I can assure you that the new images had exactly the same as the 'old' pixel data.

  I guess it was some cache error. I said not a part of the story, because I thought it was irrelevant. When I had five of my pictures working properly, I used a png on the source files compressor (I had a backup of them). It compresses a third of the original size - but also replaced the transparent pixels to whites (must have used the wrong settings or so). Premiere Elements noticed the changed files and show them in the project now. I copied the backup files to the wrong files and now the files returned to their original state in Premiere Elements. The problem started when I added the following image to the project.

  I managed to finish the small project as planned, but I still wonder about this strange thing. Thanks for your reply though. How to mark this issue as resolved? That I have to take a "good response" (but then I don't know which one to choose)?

• Good NON-animation codec with alpha channel?

  I'm looking for something that will give good resolution without strapping or artifacts in the transparent areas. The animation is too large in file size to use.

  I have 720 p images, and I tried the DNxHD codec to 110mbit 29.97 10 bit, but I still get bands.

  I have try the 59.97 220mbit 10 bit and who looks better, but it's the wrong frame rate.

  Any thoughts on a good codec with decent size that has a good representation of the alpha channel?

  Maybe I'm misunderstanding of the pace thing.

  When I go to an animation of 90fps (in the model fps game) motion graphics effects with 720 p 220 DNxHD codec 59,94 10 bit, quicktime shows I'm replaying to 90 frames per second. So that means when the codec says it's for 59.94?

  The PNG codec to highest quality is also a codec lossless, like Animation. That's what I use in QuickTime containers when I want to preserve the alpha channel for intermediate files between post-production applications. For photo-realistic images, the size of the files tend to be half of what you get with Animation.

• How do you get the 32-bit floating-point effects of working with an alpha channel?

  I do a few bugs, and lower thirds, but I find it very difficult to obtain effects of 32-bit floating point for export with transparency properly.

  When I do translucent animations with brilliant light effects, they look great in AE but I can't seem to find a way to bring Final Cut and get them to look as they should.

  I have attached this example of a bug with a screenshot of EI on the left with the CPF on the right. The Sun of colors and gradients of vibrant blue get flattened in a dull greenish color.

  

  As far as I know, all my alpha and color management settings are correct. I tried the options endless and codec settings to try to solve this problem, nothing helps.

  You can create an extreme, as for example by creating a translucent shape, crank the path of color to a saturated color superwhite and moving it around with the motion blur. The rendering looks pretty good to make an 8/16-bit, and nothing like he did in your Web.

  I have the feeling that superwhite with alpha channel color values are multiplied by the way AE gets ' lost in translation ' when it is rendered 4-channel 8-bit. Is it possible to look the way it does in the Web?

  Thank you

  Clint

  There is nothing wrong with AE, you have just a poor understanding of the works of floating point processing. In short: you're confusing mix of transparency, and this is why everything falls apart when you export. The color is still there, there is simply no opaque pixels to process on and so she never shows upward, much less in an environment that only works in 8 and 16 bits as FCP, limited killing already loyalty by using an 8-bit format. That's all that happens, and unfortunately there really isn't much you can do. Unmultiplying the result based on luminance should give you a usable result, but it remains an approximation, and regardless of whether you use the same blend modes in FCP, it will never be the same work. So in conclusion, a better way to do this would be to work 8 or 16bpc and make it look as if she were 32bpc. That is, if you can't make the final stage in AE, where even once, you'd be able to get a good mix in the float.

• Export a clip of move with alpha channel

  
  

  Hello

  I'm trying to export a displacement of clips with alpha channel.

  I'm trying to export an animation with first CS5. I made an animation of a spinning object in Maya and exported in the form of TIFFs with alpha channel. Then they are edited with Photoshop to give them a drop shadow.

  My problem is the following. Can I export this animation of tiff with alpha channel?

  My plane is to use clips from moving in a background in a game - depending on the outcome, there are different animations playing on top of several different backgrounds. It to the objects must have a transparent alpha on the bottom channel.

  Again, the reason for this is the complexity of the game and make the game looking as real as possible. I hope help here to make my plan possible

  .. .thanks

  It comes to CS4, but it applies as well to CS5: exporting files video with alpha channels

  This reference is mysteriously absent from the CS5 help, but follow these steps and you can export a movie of alpha channel.

• How to create a current transparency alpha channel?

  I have an image I created in Photoshop CS3 with a drop shadow on it and transparency around him.  I need to save it in a file TARGA 32 bit with an embedded alpha, so that transparency and drop shadow work when I bring it in my video editing software, but when I save on as a 32-bit .tga he does not save an alpha with her.

  I think remember me Photoshop automatically an alpha of your transparency created when registering on a 32-bit .tga. What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you.

  I think the alpha channel saved in Targa files in earlier versions of Photoshop have been removed in later versions, because the spec targa itself says nothing about the embedded alpha. Instead, the programs were required to read an info of transparency targa files directly. It was then changed to the way that it used to be - you will need to integrate an alpha transparency.

  However, here's how to save a channel alpha with your transparency information:

  First of all, to create layers of your layer effects (shadows etc - right click effect, will create layers)

  Then, ctrl-shift-click on each layer in your file.

  Then make a 'New Alpha Channel selection' in the palette layers.

• ProRes 444 is only way to export (share) titles with alpha channel?

  I like to keep a number of equities with alpha channels and ProRes 444 results in large files.

• keep an a 1 bit image alpha channel

  Greetings!

  I do a lot of pre-press and the restoration work for printing, mostly working with equipment that requires released as a 1 bit image - very fine line work and mechanical tones that will break or cause the moire if printed with dithering.

  For this reason, when you work with commercial printers I've out usually images with superior typical resolutions - 1 bit 2400 ppi files, i.e. the same their imagesetter resolution works.

  I have a request current a client that involves, at their request, to place images with transparency in Indesign rather than manipulate raster images in Photoshop and just out of the final 1 bit image and placing in Indesign.

  So, I was playing with alpha channels to try to find a solution to this. Is there any image format that will support two channels - one for a piece of mono ppi (1 bit) 2400 line drawings and the other for an alpha channel that will be used to hit transparent sections in Indesign after the fact? Is this possible?

  I COULD simply threshold - adjust my image to make pseudo-1-bit and then place the file in Indesign. But it's a big waste of space (the file resulting in dozens of times larger) AND it makes it more likely that someone will accidentally mixed the image during the RIP to print, thus defeating the objective of providing a high resolution 1-bit image in the first place.

  Please, please, anyone out there have any advice for me?

  Best,

  Well, the next day-

  I read some more about how little coding works on different file formats. There is no place for the information/alpha channel for transparency on image 1 bit because, well, there is only a single bit, i.e. two States - on (ink) or disable (paper). If the shutdown state is managed like a white by Indesign, or the stop State is managed as paper and is presented in a transparent manner.

  So what I really need, is a 2-bit image format. A PNG. While there are four States - on (ink), (off-white) and another way for transparency.

  So I have 'threshold' converted by alpha channel and my channel of the image, then to export--> save for Web (inheritance) and selected 4 color PNG. Voila! Perfect bitmap 1-bit with transparency.

  Now, if he is a pretty good solution for my printer and their Raster image processor, we get to see!

  Hi, I need to add a video with Alpha channel in Premiere Pro (CC 2015), but when I add an image or a video in the background the sound would prohibit fuzzy (video with Alpha) laps or more brightly, it of really weird and is horrible in the final video. Help people. I have attached a screenshot:

  Hi LeParadoxHD,

  What operating system? What GPU?

  Have you tried to export to a different format? She is blurred in the program monitor too?
