Transparency for Custom Overlay Texture in Movie

MonacoFelice · June 11, 2020, 5:57pm

Hello everyone.

Please tell me how can I use transparency in the image if I want to place my logo in a movie?

I tried to use PSD, PNG, TIFF formats with a transparent background, but for some reason the logo on the movie appears with a black background.

Hello @MonacoFelice

Don’t import your image directly into the movie overlay menu. Import it first into the Texture palette, select it, and enable “Transparent Texture”. 100% black = transparent. Now open the movie menu, and when you click on the overlay field your new transparent texture should be available in the pop up.

That’s how I got it to work, anyway.

Thank you very much for your reply!

I got not quite what I wanted, but it is already much better.

…it’s not clear why impossible just put the texture with transparency…
