I have paid someone to key out the background of a green screen test video I made of a presenter so I could demonstrate it to a potential client. The providers I have used (I have received a few examples) all swear blind they have included the alpha channel, and it is set as transparent. I have various file formats including .flv, .mov and .avi.
When I insert them in to Storyline, the background shows up blank, and stays that way even in a preview.
Is there a problem with inserting alpha channel transparent videos and maintaining the transparency? Or is it a setting I have missed?
I have had people all over the world working on this, and finally it looks like someone has cracked it. I am not a techie so I can't explain what they've done, but I now have a working version.
It was a long time ago, but I think in the end it was just finding the right provider to key out the background properly. We got there in the end, but I couldn’t tell you what they did that finally worked. Sorry.

Sometime the video doesn't seem to start when it loads, which is odd. Other times it does. Any thoughts on this anyone?
Hi Dave,
can you share if you've solved the problem - and most importantly - how? I've got the same issue.
Would immensely appreciate your help.
Best regards,
Anja
