Hi Jeffrey Thomas Harris, When you want to export a movie with an alpha channel, you have to do two things:
1.) Choose a codec that allows an alpha channel. (Alas, the "DV" codec does not!) 2.) Choose a color depth of "Millions of colors+". (This is also written as "Millions+ colors" -- the + means alpha channel.) My personal favorite format/codec for preserving an alpha channel is Quicktime with animation preset (the compression is particularly good for animations and other computer generated images.) However, Quicktime PNG movie also compresses nicely with photos and video. (I don't recall if 6.5 came with a PNG option or not, so go with the Animation codec.) -Jeffrey Thomas Schell Jeff Schell www.jeffschell.com · Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) · Adobe Certified Instructor (ACI) · On-Site, Classroom Training for Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Encore DVD, Photoshop · Books: Premiere Pro 2 Hands-On-Training · Premiere Pro 1.5 H-O-T · DVDs / Online Tutorials: Premiere Pro 2 Essential Training at Lynda.com ----- Original Message ----- From: jeffreythomasharris To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 1:15 AM Subject: [AP] preserve alpha channel I am using Adobe Premiere 6.5 and am trying to export an alpha transparency video clip to use later. According to the help files, this can be done by selecting "Preserve Transparency". I have looked everywhere and cannot find this option. Anyone know about this? Yahoo!
