How to make transparant bitmaps

[calimero1505]

I'd like to add a logo to my movies.
How can i make a transparant bitmap to insert the logo with Stream Anywhere or VirtualDub?

Thnx

You don't make the bitmap transparent. Stream Anywhere and I think even Vdub do it for you. At least on Stream Anywhere you can choose the transparency level.

Yep, there is a possibility to make it transparant. But i'd like to get rid of the white border of the image..
Is that possible too?

I think you can do it in Photoshop. How is another story. Photoshop gives me fits. If you import the bmp into photoshop and open a new canvas w/a transparent background you can higlight w/the magic wand and cut the background out of the original canvas. Then you should be able to drag what's left onto the transparent canvas.
