Goodday

I'm trying to change the opacity of one single color in a layer.

What iI need to get at the end is:
- that all that is black should be 0%
- one other color abt.50/50
- while all the rest to be at 100%

Anyone knows easy trick to do that?

Rgds!

This will be much easier to do in photoshop. If you can put each "area" on a separate layer (solid, semi transparent and transparent) and save as a layered photoshop file and then import each layer individually into premiere, you'll be able to adjust transparency individually for each layer. I suppose you can make the semi transparent layer it's own ping and then bring that it and adjust the opacity for that layer.

Actually dont't have photoshop, working with Gimp, very likely will have the same option as well. so will check out this one tonight as well 🙂

After some struggling somehow solved it with basic Color Keying 🙂
Removed the alpha channel in the original PNG-file, made it just a black background.
Keyed the color that I wanted to be semi-transparent in the PNG-file with a color matte with a certain opacity below it.
Nested the result
Then Keyed the black in the nested sequence with my actual video below it.

Don't know if this is the best/simpliest method, but it gives the result I need 🙂
Thanks for your help, you triggered me to look further in the keying methodes!

And this is a recorded video or a flat colors video like a motion graphics?

Irrelevant, ultra key works either way.

I think you're talking about either a chroma key and a luma key. you'll need to apply the appropriate effects.

but unless the video was shot properly, you'll probably have some issues.

hi There

Actually the file where I want to make a part semi-opaque is just a photo, as an overlay on my video.
I just made a PNG where I already can make an alpha-channel. So the part fully-transparent I solved it:-)
But still struggling to make one specific color semi-transparent while all other colors keep opacity at 100%
Already tried something with Luma Key and Chrome Key, but as not being familiar with it for sure doing something wrong 😉
Tonight will try more with those options as you mention 🙂
If I still cannot get it fixed will upload a screenshot of what I want to make.

many thanks for first reply!
