Using a PSPIMAGE w/transparent background

[budbon]

I have a still photo of friends getting married. In a slideshow, I would like to show them standing giving their vows at the alter and have various backgrounds replacing the alter. Example: They are standing at the alter. The alter fades into a forestscape then to a seascape and then a sunset. I have prepared the couple photo in PSP buy erasing all but the couple. The erased area is transparent but when I open this photo in Video Studio the transparent area has become a solid white. Is there a fix?

Hi

Sorry but what do you mean by PSP.?

Try saving as PNG

budbon - for best results use a 32 bit PNG but make sure you preseve the transparent level - put your backgrounds in the top video track and your png in the first overlay track

Alternatively make your transparent bits solid green and use Chroma keying in VS to get the result you require

Thanks Brian,

Senior moment I suppose, the brain just didn’t register.
