  Export is transparent

  Posted by Bryce Douglass on July 17, 2010 at 4:20 pm

  Hello, I am trying to make a basic logo for a video and when I export it with no transparency and send it to final cut pro 7 it is transparent. It’s not supposed to be transparent. It also gives me black behind it. I have to choose composite mode screen in order to remove the black in final cut pro and this is when it becomes transparent. Is there a way to fix this?

  thanks.

  In order to make the export transparent export out as Quicktime Animation set to Millions Color +. Or Pro Res 444. They are the only video codecs that support transpancy.

  You can also just bring the project file direclty into Motion and it will remain transpent.

  Did you even read what I wrote? I DON’T want it to be Transparent.

  Edit > Project Properties – change the Background from Transparent to Solid.
