Thanks guys,

I’ll read over the manual and tinker with this. I will report back if I have success!

Cheers!

Haha that made me chuckle,

I wasn’t in a rush to drop another few hundred bucks! I like video production, but not that much yet!

I appreciate your help Jill!

Thanks

Thanks Julie

Well, if Bob can’t figure it out I guess I’ll just have to grab a copy of adobe if I want to use these transitions!

Thank you for the video it was certainly informative…

Unfortunately I am still getting the white background…which raises the question of whether my programs support what I am trying to do.

When I open the tiff file I use quicktime viewer, and when I try to import the image into my video, I am using Sony Vegas. Are these programs not compatible with what I am trying to do?

Thanks for you reply,

Unfortunately, I still get the white background in TIFF and the other formats…

I am trying to make just an arrow so I can paste it in vegas pro video I am making, but I am trying to get rid of the white background…

Is there something I am missing about what you suggested? I created an alpha channel (and the image turned a bright red) and then I saved as a TIFF (and the other formats) but the quicktime viewer still shows a while background….

It’s a .MOV (quick time) file.

Hi Jerry

Thanks for your post. I tried what you said, but unfortunately it had no effect.

Here is an example of the footage I have. An egg drops on to the screen and the yolk covers it up as it spills. However, other than the egg dropping, there is a black background. When I put this image above the clip I want it to transition over, the black background (which is part of the whole egg falling clip) ALSO goes in front of the clip and all you see is the egg falling on the black background. Is there a way to remove the black background?

Hi Julie,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, a lot of the terminology is way over my head. I looked up definitions for matte and hard cut, but it still doesn’t quite make sense for what it seems to say I need to do with Sony Vegas Pro.

I have tried putting the transition in between the two clips (overlapping) but all that does it make it transparent and you see a mix of the transition (and its black background) and the video footage.

Perhaps you could rephrase “matte” and your last paragraph for the options available in Sony Vegas Pro?

Thank YOU!!! Your help is appreciated!

You Got it Don! Thank you sir!

I was pulling my hair out over this haha.

Thanks for the info about the news letter too!

Thanks but there is not track motion button on the video. There is only an event crop button.

Do I have to enable track motion somewhere?
