Transparent Background Text For Overlay

[Willard M]

I have created some text in Photoshop Elements with a transparent background and saved as a .png file. I want to use it as an overlay on one of the pics in my movie.When I try to put the .png file into EMC as an overlay the transparent background disappears. Is this possible? I know EMC 9 has some text that I could use but I want a particular font not available in EMC and I want to control the transparency of the text.ThanksWillard M

I wonder if that will show up fine in PhotoSuite. If it does, then save it as *.png in PhotoSuite and try bringing the newly saved file as overlay in Videowave. Please post the result.

I created a new .png text file in Photoshop Elements with transparent background. I then opened the .png file in Photosuite and saved with a different file name. I then pasted it as an overlay onto one of my movie pictures and it all worked perfectly. The transparent background was maintained.

 

I need to go back to my original .png file to see if I goofed it up and that properly saved it would have worked first time around.

 

I also was able to use the settings in EMC 9 to change transparency and to Fly the overlay text in and around at will.

 

What a great program. If I could just learn it all.

 

Thanks for your reply Malatekid

I'm glad to hear it worked out. There are lots of good projects you can do using the programs of the Suite.
