Re: How do you make a video with a transparent background?

Well, we had success this way. Open the video from the chroma keyer movie icon on the video. It is the little icon on the bottom right. It opens up all kinds of options. It's the Video Event FX button. Then select the Chroma Keyer option. Then use the eydropper tool to take away green (or whatever color) background. You can even do this on the preview screen. Then to adjust the thresholds appropriately go ahead and place some video underneath the chroma key video to move thresholds till you get the best look. Then go ahead and delete that video. Then render as: Video for Windows AVI, use default template- uncompressed, then choose custom setting and then choose video rendering quallity best, then select the Video settings button and set at 720x480, field order none (progressive scan) and make sure render alpha channel (uncompressed window formats only) and create an OpenDML are checked. Then render. Voila! Thanks Douglas Spotted Eagle, Holly O'Neil
