Question

How to insert a math equation in Premiere Pro

I have several math equations generated in LaTeX and I cannot figure out how to insert them in Premiere Pro in a transparent background without the quality being degraded and the ability to modify font color. Does anyone know a workaround for this? Thank you!

$ V_{n}=\int\limits_{e^{n}}^{e^{2n+3}}\frac{1}{x} dx $

this was a lot harder to try and organize saving files as PSD and making screenshots as png to show here on forum. I can do it fast but saving the stuff to show someone else is like REALLY hard.

hehehe...

So basically, I got a file with transparent background ( psd). I put a screenshot of the math program characters into a new layer of that file ( make new layer, paste screenshot into it , same dimensions ( e.g. 1080p).

So now I got two layers. transparent and black text on white.

Now I select ( magic wand ) the white stuff behind black text and delete...so now I have black text on transparent background. Would be hard to see in a video probably...so I then use magic wand AGAIN and select the characters and fill it ( in this case red ).

somewhere along the way I made a black layer so I could see white letters but this is where having too many beers and saving psd file to use and png files to upload here ...got me pretty confused !

I'm just gonna put the png files in and maybe someone can figure out what I did.

so got rid of white above and now I selected black characters and filled with red.

so now I got the transparent background ( alpha) and export as PNG to go into video timeline...

sheesh.. time for another beer !

In honor of nice Asian woman who was my babysitter at age of 3 ( and taught me how to make some numbers or something ) I had to correct earlier character. I think THIS is the right one. Maybe some nice Asian person will tell me if it's close to a real number or whatever.'

To further illustrate the problematic 'consistency' of iconography and symbols, etc., I also drew a dog.  It is specifically a FILM DOG, because if you don't draw it at exactly 24 FPS it is NOT A REAL FILM DOG !

So, you're trying to create a graphic of text, essentially, on an alpha background?

Yes that's correct!

Maybe I am missing something but the graphic shapes and text will not create a nice-looking math equation like LaTeX does? EGP does not have a built-in equation editor that allows me to create fractions, exponents, greek letters, math symbols like integral, etc.


What are your export options from LaTeX?

Can you export a pdf?
