Just Erase the Background or Create a Transparency - Is There a Difference?
#5
(8 hours ago)Connolly Music Creations Wrote: Here is what I have and what I'm trying to do:

- I have an old band photo and want to remove the background.
- I want to put the 'new and improved' image into a music video (just the band - no background).
- That image/the band will be floating around the screen, maybe on top of a static image of clouds or something.
- I'll be using Open Shot Video Editor if that makes any difference.

So to get just the band, can I just erase the background or do I need to create a transparency?  Is there a critical difference between the two?  Or it just depends on what you want to do?  Is there a best way to do it?

Not jpeg, as Ofnuts that does not support transparency. Use a png. edit: The transparent areas show black in Openshot = checker pattern in Gimp
When it comes to Openshot, long time since I last used it, so do not ask any questions, but just add the png as a track.
You can drag the thumbnail into position according to time and openshot will do the transition.
