numbered Video 2 or higher).

3 Do one of the following and then click OK:
•
If the title has a white background, choose White Alpha Matte from the Key Type menu.

(see “Previewing a video program” on page 192).
Note: If the background does not become transparent, double-click the clip in the Timeline to open
it, choose Window > Title Window Options, and make sure Opaque is not selected.
