Hi,
I've exported som files with logos and lower thirds as .mov proress44444 from FCPX. The meaning was to use them in the iPhone to speed up the workflow on the go. I could not get them to work in iMovie, so I bought the Lumafusion, but it does not seams to work here either. Am I doing something wrong? Is there any workaround or better way of doing this?
Thank you guys in advance for your answer in the matter.
Tobias

Apple’s iOS doesn’t support video with transparency; it’s a limitation of Apple’s hardware/software stack. So, you won’t be able to bring any video in with alpha channels. A workaround would be to render your video against a solid color and use the chroma-key that’s newly in LumaFusion, though it doesn’t handle partial transparency very well, so you may be limited in how you design the graphic elements.

One other thing to consider is that .PNG still files carry transparency (and partial transparency) just fine in iOS, so if your graphics aren’t moving in a way that you couldn’t animate in LumaFusion, you might just want to bring those elements in and animate them locally.
