Importing an image sequence

Several of the Digital Hotcakes products include animations with the alpha channel. We supply these animations as a targa image sequence. When imported correctly, Adobe Premiere handles these images as a single clip in your Bin.

Quicktime PNG files are now availiable on all Digital Hotcakes products that have overlays. Just import them, drop them in track 2 or higher and set the transparency setting like shown below.

Setting Transparency

Once you have imported the targa image sequence with the alpha channel, you’ll  need to set the transparency to alpha channel. Here’s how to do that.
