tif file imorts with white background instead of alpha
so I have this tif file of a logo from my client. when i open it in Photoshop CS4, it clearly has an alpha channel, because behind the logo is the grey checkerboard. when i import it to Motion, either by importing or drop and dragging, the background is solid white. I can’t use a luma key or color key cause it looks dirty. Any idea how to make Motion see the alpha?
Thanks, Cow! -

Double click the file inside of the “media” tab in the project window. That will open it in the inspector. Then in the media tab in the inspector, there’ll be a parameter for “Alpha Type” and you can choose what you want there.

Make sure the image is RGB and not CMYK.
