Just wondering if anyone has had any luck getting a video clip with a transparent background into Storyline 360 and if so, what format did you use so that 360 maintains the transparency.
Please implement this feature. I desperately need it. Removing the feature with FLV's and not finding another solution like mp4's or Quicktime for transparency is kinda lame and slow to the satisfy a large user base.
Hi There, Flash has been dead since 2020, and it does not play in any browser anymore, so there is no point in publishing the videos in Flash. Will this EVER be possible for SL to recognise published videos with an alpha Chanel from Adobe Premiere or After Effects? Many users have been asking for this feature for years now.
Hi, unsure if anything has happened with this and if any way of importing transparent background files is possible yet? I am trying to import an AI instructor from Synthesia (via Premiere Pro to remove the green screen background). Disappointing if Storyline won't let me import transparent alpha channel background video to overlay it over my slide, if it used to be possible with Flash but not anymore? This feature is possible in lots of content creation software separate to storyline so must be possible to replicate? Any news would be most appreciated, thank you.

Especially now with 360 images being possible in Storyline360 video with alpha would really benefit the toolbox of elearning designers.

Any news on this??
4 years to add a feature...
I would also like to be able to bring in animations with a transparent background.
Count me as another who can't believe this still hasn't been addressed!

same here...would be great to use transparency in videos
mp4 (h264) the main video format in storyline
no browser supports mp4 (h264) with transparency
current support of transparent video - as far as I know
- Chrome, Firefox: VP9 (free codec)
- iOS* / Safari: H265 (HEVC) (not free)
H265 (HEVC) license is not clear for commercial software projects
the lawyers from articulate would have to deal with the HEVC licensors
https://accessadvance.com/hevc-advance-patent-pool-licensors/
so storyline has to rewrite the whole video engine and pay some/much money to the licensors due to iOS only for the feature video transparency
i do not have hope

* all browsers on iOS have to use the Safari-Web-Engine (WebKit)

I throw my hat in the ring here as well. This would be a great feature!
Another vote to have this feature implemented please.
We have 70+ licences in my organisation and this feature is something we will be considering when we look to renew.
I will add my vote.
Maybe you guys can support Webm/VP9 with alpha channel?
Hi. So now Flash is a long distant memory, is there any update on whether Storyline will be supporting video with an alpha background?
