I have a clip that I used the transform effect on, I tweaked its size and position so that it fit into the lower right corner of the screen (it takes up about 1/4 of the screen). The other 3/4 of my screen is black. I need to make that black space clear (completely clear) while leaving my 1/4 screen transformed clip at 100% opacity. This way the video file below it will show on the 3/4 of empty space that I have. I tried a few things in premiere to do this, and after failing several times, I gave up and exported the entire clip, frame by frame, to photoshop. I had trouble in photoshop anyway, but that comes later.
Is there anyway to do what I am trying to do without Exporting the clip out of premiere to edit in abother program?
Now on to photoshop. I trimmed my file into 2 layers setting the opacity on the layer I don't want to 0% while keeping the opacity of the layer I do want at 100%. I then went to: FILE/Save AS (saved as .gif). The file has white layers instead of clear ones. How can I get my layers with 0% opacity to be ACTUALLY clear (instead of white) when I import my file into premiere?
BOTH of these questions are crucial for my current AMV. Please answer both if you can.
