    removing background

    Posted by Forrest Love on February 12, 2010 at 3:25 am

    Is there a way I can export a QT with no background visible around the elements. I have a picture of a TV with the video inside of it and I want to later encode it in flash. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Forrest Love

    Export it using a codec that supports transparency information (an alpha channel) like Animation or ProRes 4444.

    You will have to cut a matte out by hand, frame by frame. Google “rotoscope” or “rotoscoping”.
