In this video I'm going to show you how to make it transparent video using Adobe after effects. You're probably wondering. What is the transparent video. I don't mind that you've seen one some of the different sides. Here's a quick example it reached a health plans come if you wanna take a look. It's a video without a background. The foreground image is separated from the background. The background is usually. A special colors such as a green or a blue background. Consequently when you showed this video only to alpha channel or the primary portion is shown. And you conceive through the video's background right into the webpage or wherever you've placed it. Wasted on in the background you want we conclude this special background. Let's take a look at how it's done with Adobe after. Not very hard to do you see. -- can try. Here we are in Adobe after. -- And I'm going to demonstrate how we bring in a video that I made with Sony Vegas video. In IA exported or rendered it.

But there's an ABI file but no compression at all of one -- the best quality and file to bring India after effects. Let's bring that in -- imported. He can see right here.

I'm in drag and drop it and there were -- the composition area. You'll notice that I'm working with 200%. Size. I find that that really shows up the inadequacies of the video here's what it looks like it a 100%.

There's not quite as easy to see imperfections. Those -- a 200%.

First thing I'm going to do is get rid of some of the background in the easiest way to do that is to use a garbage man. -- go to the pin. We're just click around not too close to the head because that's going to move. Don't get close here. Then -- go outside here that's okay. Then when I hit this one it closes it up and there we are. Nor will want to do is test that to see if I go outside. If I didn't come pretty close here so what I'm going to do is hold on my control keying. And then out a little bit. Okay that's good. Next thing we're going to do is. Choose to -- And there's many different methods of -- but the very very very best one in my opinion easiest to use. -- tequila. Is drag and drop it right under the picture. And it opens up the control. Effect controls over here. Who are going to do is get rid of this yellow man. Expect clicking right here. And I'm going to. Get rid of this green I'm going to and take -- dropper. And goes somewhat close that they face but not too close. And when I click on it it gets rid of that than -- we've got some impressed imperfections here. But I wanna get rid of I go to the screen gained nine hover over the 100. And pushed down my left. Most button. And move it. Carefully intelligent. Get rid of the imperfections. -- to too far. We go too far one way or pregnant too far the other way and it's a black sport coat. We should be black. -- screen Dallas will do the same items you know move it back and forth. And what you face watch everywhere -- go too far here the blue and I assured goes around.

We're going to export. We want to export as an F Philby files. For the video we're going to use to encode the video. On two VP six. They're going to encode the alpha channel. Equality we need is only know. Look at the audio. We could use sixteen -- bits mono with 32. Is is good enough. If we if we go up to higher. Bit rate is there's no reason to do it especially -- -- even using stereo. But it just makes your file larger and then it takes longer to load. We're not gonna cropper resize. So we hit OK. It's. Choose a file name. Leaned over right one. And now it's doing its work. -- -- we've used we've rendered that file lot of after effects I wanna show you something. Here's the media I file that we imported it's 642. Next. Coming out it's just a little over three next. Let's take a look at it. When I'm using is a special player.
