Importing Single-Layer Photoshop Graphics
A single-layer graphic is a graphic that was created on a single layer or a layered graphic that was flattened in Photoshop. The Avid system imports this kind of graphic as a matte key or master clip, depending on the format of the Photoshop file.

If the graphic uses a transparent background or an alpha channel, the
Avid system creates a matte key.
|
| |
If the graphic uses a background color, the Avid system creates a
master clip.
|
To import a single-layer graphic, or a multilayered graphic that was
flattened in Photoshop:
|
|
Follow the standard instructions for importing a graphic, as described
in Importing Files.
|
 | |
Single-layer files that contain transparency gradients or feathering and a
transparent background do not import correctly. Partially transparent
pixels are displayed with either white or black blended into them, based on
the percentage of transparency. To avoid this problem, create an additional
layer in the original Photoshop file that contains at least one pixel of
information, such as a spot drawn with a paintbrush. Then import it as a
layered file, as described in Importing Multilayered Files. In the message
box, click Select Layers and select only the layer that contains the graphic
elements; do not select the additional layer.
