transparent color in a image in Premiere Pro

[claudiofran]

Hello
My problem is that I have a .jpg image imported to the Premiere Pro timelime.
This image has a white color around, and I want it to be TRANSPARENT. I want to show only the silhouette, as "cut"

Can someone help me wich tool to use to make transparent that color ???

Thanks a lot !

I don't know if this will work but if you have photoshop you should create a new file with the dimensions of the .jpg. Make sure you designate transparent background.

Next, paste the .jpg into the new document and use the magic wand tool to select the edges of the picture you are wanting to use. You will then want to go to select - inverse to select everything else. Next use the eraser tool and erase all of the white. You should now have just the picture you want and a transparent background. You'll have to save it as a .psd file I believe.

hopefully premiere will accept the psd and you'll have what you are looking for.

Thanks greymalkin
But I know (and I used it and now I don´t remember) that there is a Premiere tool that makes tansparent the color you choose, without using Photoshop. I don´t know if it is croma, luma, etc
