The Garage Band Blues Concert Series Number 1 Another great video Mysto. With all due respect to The Boneheads - you should try and produce an animation for an up and coming band and send it to them - you might get a commission

another transparent video test another great find Tripfreak - it looks like it's very well featured - I'm going to download it and give it a go. Thanks.

Hmm - I've got Adobe Première Elements I don't think that does transparent video


I've got PE4 but haven't tried it yet but I see no reason why it shouldn't work as long as an uncompressed format is used. I'll try and experiment on Monday evening

Could you explain the exact settings for sony vegas please

Cheers

Thanks Dreeko but it's the Muvizu team who deserve your praise.

In Vegas

a) Apply Green Screen effect
b) Edit effect - Adjust mask using threshold sliders. Easiest done by temporarily selecting "Show mask only". Aim to get rid of the greys and get pure B and W. Add a tiny bit of blur (if desired) to soften edge of mask
c) Make movie> save it to hard drive>next
d) Format>Video for windows (avi)
Template>Default template (uncompressed)

thanks

another transparent video test


a) recorded dog on bike against greenkey enviroment background
b) used SVegas to create transparent video (uncompressed)
c) loaded video as texture on backdrop
d) moved backdrop as required

Allows for objects/characters to move together

tell us more!


Dreeko
Not much to say really.
I recorded a video in Muvizu (dog performing/riding on bike as it happens) using green-screen environment settings.
Imported video into Sony Vegas and applied green key filter.
Exported video in uncompressed format.
Imported onto a backdrop.
Animated backdrop so the dog can ride around the set on the bike doing his thang!
I'll upload the video Saturday afternoon.

I don't have a copy of Sony Vegas or Premiere Elements but I'm interested to know if it is possible to get transparent videos out of them without having to go the PNG route, perhaps by using an uncompressed codec format?


Dave using uncompressed output from SVegas HD Platinum 10 I was able to output a video which could be loaded directly into muvizu.

TRANSPARENT VIDEO IMPORT TEST Very quick and dirty but it worked!



I had a go at creating transparent videos in both Sony Vegas and Premiere Elements but on both occasions they would not load into Muvizu.
So I tried exporting a series of transparent PNGs from Iclone (using 32 bit) and then loading them into Virtual Dub as per Dave's instructions and it worked

Transparent videos as textures in Muvizu Thanks for that Dave, I'll give it a go tonight.
I managed to create a video with alpha transparency in Sony Home Studio but this only seems to be possible with uncompressed video too; so might be some sort of global restriction.

Can't wait to give it a try
