wowwwwwwwww superb trick to export our transparent background videos, bggest like 100 Sir, Thank u very much,

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Thanks for liking😁❤❤

[@Hubwood]

Thanks! Though my 5 Second Title is 440mb. Is there a way to shrink the size?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Mov formats tend to be large in size due to high bitrate, try reducing it maybe that helps

[@Nier00]

broo i love you

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

😁❤️

[@anainthedrums]

Ça fait du bien de voir un tuto pour PC et non pas pour un Apple donc un grand merci à toi !😁 Je voulais savoir si tu savais comment faire également un export sans fond mais via Media Encoder afin d'éviter que l'animation soit trop lourde ?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Thank you too😁 Sure, you can do the same thing using media encoder, but the file size will still be kinda heavy, that's just how quicktime format works

[@anainthedrums]

@SmertimbaGraphics Sorry, I don't know why I have written in French yesterday, I thought that the video was in my language (I have watched so many videos yesterday I think xD...) The problem is that the format Quicktime only works with Apple... On my computer, I can't read this format unfortunately

[@borinemes2930]

I watched the sixth tutorial and did everything as instructed. I rendered my video in QuickTime format with RGB+Alpha channels for transparency. I turned off the transparency grid toggle. When I also tried using Adobe Bridge to render it, I couldn't play or insert it into a presentation. My goal is to have a transparent background directly in the video, without needing to use After Effects or Premiere Pro after rendering, so that I can easily insert it into a PowerPoint presentation. Is there any way to achieve this? Thank you

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Not all applications support .mov format, I can confirm that something like OBS Studio supports it and you can import stuff that you rendered without backgrounds

[@novaproductionsjax]

Would this work for Element 3D composition too? I'm trying to export my Element 3D Text as transparent background to put in video in Premiere

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

If the composition is transparent, meaning no solid layers in the back then yeah

[@novaproductionsjax]

@@SmertimbaGraphics Thank you you are a god!

[@camarors8992]

Once I apply the Saber effect, my composition gets a black background that I cannot get rid of. Do you know how I can remove it?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

By default saber applies a black background, you gotta change it to transparent in saber render settings in effect controls

[@GridNomofTheShyulk]

My final product after rendering transparent bg turns out to be very laggy. Even if I pick 'Apple pro res 4444' instead of 'Animation' in the format options, the video seems to be running at 5 fps or so. How can I fix this?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

What is the bitrate on the rendered file? Also does it lag even when adding to other software?

[@GridNomofTheShyulk]

@@SmertimbaGraphics it doesn't lag while adding to the timeline. Bitrate is usually 100455 Kbps or so. But I found one funny thing after a lots of hit n trial! The video lags when it is played alone in a media player. However, the rendered video works fine when adding it into the premiere pro. It worked that way! I think this may be the fix!!!

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Yeah it should be fine when adding to a timeline, but will be laggy while viewing in something like a media player. Glad you found a solution 😊

[@EeshiO]

Worked perfectly, thanks

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Great to hear!

[@hncriminal7339]

bro when i export my transparent video in premier pro ,for some reason it gives me black background even though it is transparent.,,,,help me fix it pls

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

make sure you check the option with +alpha

[@lovinggossipgirl]

followed all the steps and it exported as a mov file. However it says "The file isn’t compatible with QuickTime Player." Would you know what to do in this situation?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

You need a special player to play mov files, try VLC player for example. It will play if you add it into editing softwares though.

[@lovinggossipgirl]

@@SmertimbaGraphics I just tried the file on my Final Cut Pro and it shows! Thank you :)

[@ninjageargraphics893]

I don't know what happening I've followed the steps and for some reason i transfer it to premier pro and the footage isn't showing up. Even thought I've got it on my timeline its just not showing what I've rendered. Can someone help?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Hmm, I haven't had that issue before. Do you have an mov player to check if it's rendered properly?

[@ninjageargraphics893]

@@SmertimbaGraphics Ive followed the steps. For some reason it cant be played but when i move the clip to my media section to my premier pro it seems to pick it up alright

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

I guess you need an extension to be able to play mov on your system, but if it plays fine in premiere pro then no worries.

[@merkesh9450]

Is there a way to share this video over the internet? why does everything use as a green background?

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Green screen mp4 has less file size than mov, that's one reason😁

[@merkesh9450]

@@SmertimbaGraphics how much does mov weigh and mp4

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Depends, but it's noticably more

[@ahmettarikyanik]

rgb + alpha setting is closed i cannot select it

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Make sure you are choosing the right format

[@iamnovikovmaksim]

the size of file is huge, I can't put such animation in web concept

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Quicktime format comes out huge due to very high bitrate, that could be a downside

[@thingstobuyindia]

For video its not working😢 pls help me bro

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

What do you mean for a video?

[@thingstobuyindia]

@@SmertimbaGraphics I done a rotoscope for a person so that video I need to export in transparency can u tell me pls how it is

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

Yeah, the video shows that, as long as you have a transparent background everything should work

[@thingstobuyindia]

@@SmertimbaGraphics but it's not working bro 🥵 can u share any video bro pls 🙏

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

That's the only video I have, that's how I would do it myself, make sure you check alpha when exporting

[@asianboyanimation8630]

it deleted the whole video

[@SmertimbaGraphics]

It exports based on alpha channel, only transparent bits get deleted

[@punn7689]

Thank you!
