Photoshop Files In Final Cut 6
Quick question for anyone bored enough the help me.
I’m trying to edit together a video that involves company logos, and I have them in ALL sorts of formats, but Final Cut 6 doesn’t seem to allow you to use PDF’s or TIFF’s. . . this causes a problem. All the logos that I have need to have the Transparent Background that they have in Photoshop. . . and whenever I Convert the PDF’s to GIFF’s or PSD files. . . the background although saved with the Transparency shows up BLACK. . .
Ultimately I’m trying to put the logos over Video Footage of Los Angeles, and I can’t have logos with boxes around them, and I want to Hide the logos in the City footage.
Any ideas?
Greatly appreciated!!!!

Final Cut Pro understands and can use any format that Quicktime can understand. This includes pdfs and Tiffs. I’ve personally used pdfs for many of my projects. It sounds like a bug that your having, ive in countered many bugs in version 6 myself.
Also photoshop has a weird problem sometimes, by ignoring the mask. I’ve only been able to fix this by creating a new mask in photoshop.
I hope you get it to work.

Its weird, I did all the same steps I did when I was using FCP 5 but for some reason it’s just not working.

Make sure you are working in RGB in Photoshop. FC do not accept CYMK documents.
