Creating a "Brady Bunch" frame for Premiere Pro?

[sulio]

Hi Guys,
I've just joined this forum as I'm a newbie re Photoshop. I mainly use it to touch up the occasional photo so my experience is limited.
I've recently been using Adobe Premiere Pro to edit some car club meet footage for a short movie for our website. I wanted to get that split screen effect and I've used photo shop to create the frame to be overlayed on my video to give me that "Brady Bunch" split. The only problem is all the areas in the saved jpeg image that are saved as transparent are coming up as a solid color white when I insert into Premier Pro!?? I've been doing a bit of reading but I can't work it out. PLEASE HELP as it's been two days now and I don't want to waste any more time.

Cheers
Sulio

Hmm, I haven't used Premiere before so I'm not quite sure how to fix that problem, but from what I do know about Photoshop I might be able to help. Try saving the picture in a format that keeps the layers from merging (as with a jpeg it merges all layers when saved creating that white background) that Premiere can read (like .psd or something). If that doesn't work, try saving the image as a .gif with a transparent background. I hope that helps
