Frage von Lilu:
Hi, I'm sorry that I come with Aw, Pippi question, which have actually has often made without problems, but now something is never ...
And although the point is that I've created in Photoshop a picture, a drawn figure that I be exempted on a transparent background. This I would now like to import into After Effects and set against a backdrop created separately. Did the figure saved as PNG - it worked normally - but every time I open my in AE's now is, when suddenly a white background behind the figure actually exempted. In the PNG options I have "none" clicked (how else synonymous ...) habs but now even been synonymous with "interlaced" tried. Nothing works. Always this background. Did I forget to put a check mark somewhere or do I change in the AE presets which ****?
The only thing new is the version of AE (CS5 ).... gibts da what, pay attention to what?
Please, please answer!
Thanks ...
Antwort von Tuffy:
Right click-> Artist Footage-> Main (or a German equivalent).
Then you can set up the new rail window's alpha, should try it straight or premultiplied:)
Greetings
Antwort von Lilu:
Thank you very much ... Unfortunately, this does not synonymous. Is already provided on straight, not synonymous with premultiplied folded (with the Pippette on the background of the broadcast will then ???). I've actually created synonymous but no alpha channel. Usually goes / went without the synonymous, as I said the transparency in PNG format so far been maintained without problems ...
I do not understand ... : (
Thank you all again and 'nen nice greeting!
Antwort von Tuffy:
If the problem is synonymous still be there when you insert a background?
In the Composition window, there is a button with such a black / gray plaid pattern, which must be pressed synonymous.
Otherwise you might want to incorporate in PS once an alpha channel into the File!
Antwort von Jörg:
which must be pressed synonymous. Noo, no preference has absolutely no effect on the channel display in the comp, just as the Alpha in the preview window.
Loading your down times, the graph shows the AE with Alpha?
Antwort von Lilu:
Hmm, yes, the background is already on a plane behind it. The ToggleTransparancyGrid - Button (? Did you mean to) was not depressed, but now I've done - no change.
I thought I would simply synonymous only in the PS any wrong setting - but a friend has already emailed the optional PNG file that has the Picture easily imported in AE - and lo and behold, the background was transparent. PNG can not be the most. The only difference is that he had an older version of AE was ...? Can it be it?
Antwort von Lilu:
@ Joerg:
Thank you, so that works with the test.png: little orange rectangle in the middle, the rest is transparent - should look like this, right? Synonymous've just spent a load from the Intenet, with the course, no problem! If yes schonmal a good sign or?
The preview in AE, the two PNGs synonymous already shown with black background (which is transparent, black), with my PNG is not the case, we are synonymous in the preview already m. white background shown ....
DH must have it but are s.meinem PNG? But why was my friend then import m.transparentem background and what did I do wrong?
Antwort von Jörg:
no idea what may go wrong, the graphics simply do again, and try it out.
AE makes everything right.
Antwort von Tuffy:
Hi Jörg,
when I use the "Toggle Transparency Grid button was not pushed under the Comp window, is your PNG instead of white / gray diamond with a black background. The button is on, white / gray. Do not know now what is your problem.
Lad but once the PNG high or possibly try it with another PNG of the same program if you do not like us to show.
Greetings
Antwort von Jörg:
Do not know now what is your problem. I have none,
It is entirely for the presentation of Alphaknals in the comp no preference whether you press the button or not, alpha is interpreted correctly.
It will only display the transparency.

It will only display the transparency. Understand you - had not only on the screen that some day the view of the alpha channel was used frequently (even a little silly of me that I was not on it, try this out), but only the benefits within the Comp.
Antwort von Lilu:
Well folks, now is what happened ... weird scold me!
Have now again a test-PNG created yourself ... and again a white background! Habs again with "None" and "Interlaced" tried. Out of sheer desperation I then loaded the PSD file inside .... and the background is transparent!
So, basically my problem was indeed solved, but I do not understand it!! Have something has always saved as a PNG ...
I invite you once both images high, png and psd (you can clearly see the only für'n Animatic are), perhaps still has einer'ne idea what I've done wrong in the PNG (and why in AE. Psd files recognizes transparency)?
Because I my friend synonymous both file formats have sent, I guess they had mistaken - and it was with him synonymous the psd.File which went - or do you feel when with my PNG Picture?
Antwort von Lilu:
Oh, how ... PSDs can not upload here?
Antwort von Lilu:
So, again thank you for your time you two! Maybe somebody is after all still a what could I have done wrong in the PNG-files ...
And perhaps I can say a synonymous why I do not always transparent images in PSDs have loaded into the after effects, but if the obvious is ...? Does that mean there are not always transparent - then PNG? And why?
'm Sorry, not yet in the know: (
thank you thank you and a nice evening!
Antwort von Mylenium:
Does that mean there are not always transparent - then PNG? And why? No, why? The one who has brought you to the straight and narrow should be shot later ... There are a number of formats, the "real" transparency support (eg synonymous TIFFs), but the support of the very few programs, but all the world uses for Alpha channels, because it's easier to handle in the code ... Seen in this way you get to that is pretty much options "transparency" in AE. yes kalr and, as a product of their own home support synonymous almost all Adobe Programs PSDs levels and even with all the bells and whistles, at least in AE since version 5.0, or 11 years ...
