import video with alpha background
I have shot our learning host on green screen, keyed out the background in adobe premier cc and rendered a Quicktime file that imports into all my other apps with the alpha or transparent background fine but when I bring the same file into storyboard it comes in with the black background. Any clues or tips when it comes to importing video with transparent backgrounds? You can see this in the attached screen capture.
Thanks

Are there any other options for importing a video with an alpha channel (.mov - quicktime) into Storyline?
Hi, Michael.
MP4 videos are natively supported in Storyline 360, while other video file formats get converted to MP4 (you can see the list here).
Since MP4 doesn't accept alpha channels, this is not currently a feature supported in Storyline. We are tracking a feature request and will update this discussion when we have any news to share!
I'd love to see this too. .mov files with alpha channels support would be great.
Hello,
i get very disappointed by reading this thread. I would love to use .mov files in Articulate with a transparent backround. Please, fix this in the future!
Thank you!
Hi Maria - do you have an update on this new feature request yet please?
Thank You
Wow, I'm reading all this comments, and this thread is from 6 years ago. I been having the same problem all this time... i tried to use animated gif with transparency too, but doesn't have the necesary quality, plase we need a solution :ยด(
Hello Maria,
Any updates on the Support of Alpha Channels in SL?
I do understand that SL supports and converts everything to MP4. My question is more centered around what is Articulate doing to help support its users by providing a solution to an issue that is over 6 years old?!
Hey Maria, any updates on this feature request? I remember first broaching this topic back in 2016-ish and struggling a bit with alpha channels.
It appears from the thread above there is not an existing solution (as of 2 years ago). I'm wondering if any progress has been made on the prioritization of this open request?
