How to keep background transpareny in animation for PSP?

Postby gkotoyan » Fri Jun 01, 2007 10:33 am

Is there any animation software that creates and then converts 3D animated text WITH TRANSPARENCY BACKGROUND to any video format accessible by PSP? As I know, GIF is not supported by PSP, and after conversion to AVI it loses transparency of background. Or should I look for some software that converts GIF proper way? Thank you for help!

Ulead COOL 3D Production Studio Home

Export Video Overlays

Create full-motion overlay titles that are perfect for videos. Export projects as 32-bit AVI, TGA files with alpha channels, or directly place projects into Ulead MediaStudio Pro or Ulead VideoStudio's timeline.


Would this do what you want???? Cheers Jan

At this time, there are no video formats that Producer will keep the transparency for (that's the Alpha Channel). You can get around this though. If you have a video with 3D text, make sure the background is either white or black (pick whichever one is LEAST visible in your text). Then use the Chroma Key feature in PSP to key out the white or black. You'll probably need to adjust the intensity threshold and drop offs to get it just right :)

Another option, depending on the program that your creating your text in, is to create a mask that is the opposite of your text. Digital Juice provides these for all of their overlays.

Good Luck!
