final cut pro x alpha channel
I have a cartoon type animated Gif. I open and export from QT7Pro to a .mov.
Import the animated gif/.mov into Final Cut Pro X and for a split second when I drag it into the timeline it has a transparent background.....then it turns into a black bacground behind my animation (which I'm overlaying as a prop/joke in the top right hand corner of my video.
I've tried changing the composting blend mode to overlay, screen, etc. nothing works.
I've exported the gif as a .mov with 'blend' mode turned on, 'alpha' turned on....nothing.
How can I make my little gifs look as good as the original gif with a transparent background?
Thanks
