Which Type of Transparency Image File

Hi Thanx Matt

Ok then as I understand it, the completed (edited), image after cropping (removal of the background), must be saved as just a .psd adobe project file, and NOT exported as any other file type.

Now unless I'm missing something, you say that this psd will definitely open in FCE HD (just as a psd).
Correct?

And then this psd transparent file will allow video background to appear superimposed under/over it.
Correct?

And of course you can change the opacity of either the video, or the inserted psd according to the desired effect.

Now Matt, does one need to have Photo Shop installed in the same computer system that has FCE HD installed?

Or can I get a friend to create the transparent psd from her adobe program, then just transfer it into my system with FCE.
(Currently I don't have Photoshop installed in my system)

Thanx Matt 🙂

Hi Tom
Hi Michel

Good to see you guys again!

"Is your friend using a PC?"
No No - No PC - that's a (curse word) 🙂

My freind (she's a graphic artist grad), does EVERYTHING
on a Mac!

And she's done quite a few 'tranparent layouts'.

Ok - a transparent 'PSD' it is - brought into FCE for a nice effect ....

Thanx Boys!

Thank you all again
Mike
