Simple Steps to Isolate Your Object and Create Transparency
If you want to make your PNG image blend perfectly into your project, removing its background in After Effects is the way to go. This process is useful for motion graphics, product shots, or creative animations. Below are clear steps to help you isolate your object and work with transparency effectively.
Step 1: Import the File
Go to File > Import > File and choose your PNG image. You can also import JPEG or JPG files if needed. After importing, you will see the file in the Project panel.
Step 2: Create a New Composition
Drag your PNG into the “New Composition” button or create a new composition manually (Composition > New Composition). Adjust size, frame rate, and duration to match your project.
