• Channel alpha and ProRes 4444

  I have a number of files AE I want to visit Media Encoder with their alpha channels using the ProRes 4444 codecs. I can't understand how to make ME give me an alpha channel. If I go to AE, I get the alpha without problem. How can I ME give me an alpha channel? I use ME 2014 on a Mac.

  Hi Remy,

  Choose QuickTime. In the list of formats in the video tab, choose ProRes 4444. Scroll to the 'depth' and choose 32-bit. This will allow you to export with alpha channel.

  Thank you

• Creating a channel alpha in a weird way?

  My question is about the features of After Effects. I highly doubt it is possible, but I would run it through people who know. My question is perhaps not clear because I don't know how to describe it!

  I wonder if I can create an alpha channel using the bottom again at once, as an alternative to green screens and makes it easier for outside without the need of mad lights.

  Here is an example. Do you film yourself using a tripod (if the background is always) away from a building and want to add an explosion behind you without hiding all images, would you be able to recognize the background by using a picture without you in it, or one that has the same lighting and use it to have it automatically differentiate this context you thus creating an alpha channel or mask automatic...

  Thank you

  For a mast of difference to work absolutely nothing can move in the scene. Difference matte will not work with the compressed original film. I know I've tried several times. If the wind blows in the grass or trees are moving the difference Matte will not work.

  If you plan this kind of shot, then the best thing to do is try to find a few good areas of contrast in the shot, so you can create a procedure cache. A small cache of transparency and a procedure cache created by adjusting the levels or color or shade can create a much better Matt and does not rely on the pixels being exactly the same on each image.

  Even easier is a well-planned and the Roto brush.

• y at - it script or action to remove all the channels/alpha?

• Update the clips with Alpha channel does not work after August 2016

  It's really random, I have a bunch of Silhouettes of Motion Designer of Digital Juice in my current project, and after the last update, none of them appear in the monitor of the composition. The clips are still there. Nothing is changed. But none of the Silhouettes. They are Quicktime video files with alpha and have the silhouette of a person to perform various tasks.

  They are not involved in After Effects and first.

  I have also a few clips with alpha explosion on my calendar. Those who still work, but they are not as vivid and intense as they were before the update.

  Help? All advice would be much appreciated.

  all the information I have shows that there is a bug in 13.8.1 on some OS systems. What is yours? It mainly occurs on Windows 10 and a few BONES. the solution is to uninstall quicktime or working with the version 2015.2. Have a look here:

• Alternative to the QuickTime Animation - alpha channel & small size?

  • I am looking for a replacement for the Animation QT codec I used to use for video files with a channel alpha on a Windows System.
  • Apple QuickTime does not support Windows more and I'm scratching my head to find a good video intermediate container/codec that takes in charge graphic overlays alpha channels.  I'm looking for something that implements a clip of 10 minutes gradually around 1 or 2 gigs or less.  Compression is acceptable.   I reuse these overlays on each video that I exported and found there was a reduction of duration important export RGBA images rather than dynamic links to After Effects.
  • My best guess is to use JPEG 2000 level 1 in one. Enveloping MXF?   Any other suggestions or ideas?
  • JPEG 2000 lvl1 I get an error in the first when importing JPEG 2000 MXFs, but somehow from one day to the next the error disappeared.  The 10 minute file moved to 976 326 KB which is ~1.5 GB smaller than the Animation QT codec. He use that throughout.
  • I tried the PNG sequence, and it was the smallest (I think), but it cannot be contained in a single file, it is unusable in our workflow.
  • I tried the Targa sequence, which was a lot more big 34 k vs 8, 000 k.
  • I tried the GoPro Cineform, which although is listed as QT always worked without QT installed.  It worked fine, but the files turned out to be astronomical in size and much larger than QT Animation.
  • I tried DNxHD, but the files are too big, and I have found no RGBA option to export even if takes care of the format specification.
  • I tried AVI (uncompressed), wow.  File size would have taken a hard disk video sequence.

  Thanks for the help and suggestions, if someone reads this knows a better way, please share.

• Photoshop CS6 using javaScript to truncate the name of the alpha channel

  Hello

  I am a production artist and I work with PSD files created in Adobe Scene7's Image Authoring Tool. These PSD files contain a background as well as the alpha 1-20 layers layer. My script should make a new empty layer for each alpha channel in the document. He then fills the new grey layer. So far, my code accomplishes this mission. However, I would like to apply the alpha channel of the layer name, but I need the name will be truncated. Each alpha channel begins with one or more characters, followed by a bar backslash and then ends with one or more characters. Here is an example:

  An alpha channel can be named: Floor\floor

  In this example, I need my name of layer to be fair: floor. This means that all characters to the left of the backslash, including the backslash itself needs to be scrapped. I used the subSring() for this statement. When I try to step through the code line by line in ExtendScript, I immediately get an error that says no complete string constant and line 31 of my code is highlighted. I think that he doesn't like the way I wrote the backslash character, although I have it surrounded by double quotes to define it as a string.

  Can someone tell me why I get this error?

  Here is my code with a lot of comments to guide you through the process. I wrote where the error occurs in red characters.

  I'm new to JavaScript, so I'm not sure that my while loop is accurate.

  #target photoshop

  #target photoshop makes the script execution in PS.

  declare the variable to contain the active document

  var myDoc = app.activeDocument;

  declare the variable to hold the number of alpha channels, excluding the RGB layers

  var alphaChan = myDoc.channels.length - 3;

  Alert ("alpha channels exist" + alphaChan);

  create a loop to make new layers depends on the number of channels alpha, fill layer with gray and apply the name of alpha channel to the new layer

  for (a = 0; a < alphaChan; a += 1) {}

  make new Virgin layer

  myDoc.artLayers.add ();

  fill empty layer with gray

  var color = new SolidColor();

  Color.RGB.Red = 161;

  Color.RGB.Green = 161;

  Color.RGB.Blue = 161;

  myDoc.selection.fill (color);

  variable stores the name of the alpha channel

  var alphaName = myDoc.channels [3 + a];

  variable stores the length of the name of alpha channel

  var lz = alphaName.length;

  declare the index variable to initialize the character position 1 the name of alpha channel

  var x = 0;

  truncate the name of the alpha channel by removing all characters preceding the symbol "\".

  While (alphaName.subString (x)! = ' \ ') { (ExtendScript gives an error for this line and highlights the backslash and surrounding quotes) }

  alphaName = alphaName.subString ((x+1), z);

  x += 1;

  z = 1;

  Return alphaName;

  }

  remove the backslash in name of alpha channel

  alphaName = alphaName.subString ((x+1), z);

  apply name truncated to the corresponding layer alpha channel

  myDoc.artLayers [a] .name = alphaName;

  }

  While (alphaName.subString (x)! = ' \ ') {}

  While (alphaName.subString (x)! = ' \ ') {}

• formats with alpha channels

  Some of our projects created by Adobe AIR to video with alpha channel. We can create impressive effects with it. Is there something format with channel alpha we can change FLV?

  It is quite critical for us. There is only one option - previous version using Media Encoder?

  Been to another video format that support alpha channels? I know non-compressed MOV can do it, but the very large output files.

  If you need FLV files, then use the previous version of Adobe Media Encoder to create.

• Basics of the alpha channel of Canon 7 d video

  Maybe I'm missing something basic here, as I am fairly new to play with alpha in VIDEO layers/channels. Otherwise, I have a pretty good understanding of the alpha when it comes to photos, animations, etc.ffects

  I'm doing the black in a video of a few flames in an alpha channel, so I can use them in the form of particles in After Effects.

  (like in this video http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorial/green_smoke/ ( )

  I understand the restrictions codec/format for alpha channels, but the problem is that I can't get the black to come out at all as an alpha channel.

  I have tried Quicktime with no codec and FLV and other formats that are supposed to support alpha channels.

  According to me, what is the problem is format that shoots in the Canon does not have an alpha channel in native mode to export the video in different formats is not having an effect. If this is the case, how should we do the dark parts of a video in an alpha channel.

  I know there are ways to make green in a channel alpha (filtering). I can't for the life of me figure out how to get scars OR Prime Minister to acknowledge the black straight as an alpha channel however.

  I watched a few 30 tutorials trying to understand this point, but it seems that I am unable to ask the right question to get the answer I want.

  

  There are the export parameters.

  Perhaps someone can point out my gross missunderstanding of what I'm trying to make, or otherwise put me on the right track.

  Here's a clip of in aftereffects, the arrow shows that the clip has properties alpha... I think, but when I turn off the alpha channel EVERYTHING disappears.
  I have to d something in the aftermath?  I don't know, I'm lost.

  

  If anyone thinks they can help I'm willing to do a youtube video showing what I do.

  PP will never recognize black as an alpha channel.  You have to eliminate the black using the Luma key.  As long as it has nothing else underneath, which retired black will be encoded as an alpha transparency.

• 8 and 16-bit grayscale alpha channel

  Hello.

  When I have an image in 8 bits per channel, its grayscale alpha channel is 8-bit (256 levels).

  But when I have an image in 16 bits per channel, its channel alpha, grayscale 16 bit (32.768 levels)? They are a lot to make a selection...

  Why 16-bit alpha channels exist if they are not real?

  They are real, you can copy and paste into a layer for example mask instead of loading them.

• Cannot save a PNG file with alpha channel transparency format

  I try to send a PNG file with transparency channel alpha on my Zenfolio web page. It is a custom application of copyright law that I do.  When I save the file, cs5, and I select Save in PNG, in the window, I get a message error/alert that says "the file should be saved as a copy with this application.  I'm not allowed to select the Alpha channel option.

  I think that I have a setting in CS5 that is making this happen, but I'm not smart enough to understand.

  What happens when I have when even save it and upload this file to my Zenfolio website is copyright logo has a cloud of sorts with it. It's the rest of the House generated page which should be, but is not transparent.

  PNG does not support alpha channels, only one channel of transparency.

  Just make the image with transparency and save in PNG.
