  Graphic Background Colour

  Posted by Canadianguy on March 30, 2007 at 6:29 pm

  I’m trying to insert a graphic logo at the beginning of my sequence. The graphic itself is a thin horizantal bar with a white background. When I insert it, the rest of the frame outside of the graphic has a black background. I would like to make the rest of the frame into white so that it matches the graphic. FYI I have several file formats of the graphic (Jpg, png, psd, tif). Thanks

  Put a color matte from the generators on the track underneath the graphic. Use the color picker to match the background color of your logo. The other option, and probably a better one, is to create the logo to the correct specs in Photoshop. Use the Canvas size function to make the image the correct size for video.

  All the best,

  Tom
