Why does FCPX remove the white from my picture?
I have a logo on a white background and FCPX keeps taking away the white from that logo and any other picture I bring into FCPX.
Is it because I’m using JPG. Should I use PNG or TIFF?

What’s there instead of the white?

Go into your preferences, and under the “player” options, set your player background to checkerboard. What do you see now when you look at your still in the viewer? Do you see the checkerboard pattern where the white should be? Then it’s an alpha channel issue.
If your still is a jpg, there won’t be an alpha channel. So what do you actually see?

Yes, I see the checkerboard.
I brought the photo in as a jpg and a png and they’re both having alpha issues.This is what the photo looks like.
Here is the photo in my FCPX. It is a JPG or a PNG file and there shouldn’t be an Alpha. My other images that have a white background don’t have this issue.
Thank you for your help.
What I’ve done is made a compound clip with a color white generator. -
Bring it into Photoshop and flatten the image, then save as a psd and reimport.
This always works, for me anyway.
Photoshop is still the best for building graphics, with lots of layers and then merging down or flattening, just save aversion with all the layers as well if you need to go back and change a phone# or whatever.
