There was an issue in earlier builds of Storyline where alpha channel transparency wasn't working as expected in published courses. This issue was corrected in Update 5 for Storyline. To take advantage of the new features and fixes, install the latest version from the link in your product confirmation email ordownload it here.
After installing the latest software update, delete the affected FLV videos from your project file, then insert them again and republish your course.
I know this is a super old thread, but has there been any video changes since then? I'm learning Adobe Character animator and it exports scenes into a QuickTime video with an alpha channel, I'd love to be able to add some of what I create into my storyline courses. As we know Flash is going away, so we're trying not to use anything with Flash anymore.
This is an older thread, so I wanted to provide some updated information for Storyline 360. FLV videos with alpha channel transparency are supported in Storyline 360 Flash and Articulate Mobile Player output but not HTML5 output.
Since the FLV alpha channel transparency is supported in limited environments such as Flash-enabled browsers, and with Adobe ending support for Flash in 2020, I am hoping that others in the community can share some insights on what they use here!

Hi Stephane,
What happens when you insert the file into Storyline?
You'll see our documentation on Alpha channel here:
FLV videos with alpha channel transparency are supported in Articulate Storyline's Flash and Articulate Mobile Player (AMP) output. See this article for a comparison of Flash, HTML5, and AMP features.
