Transparent Background Video Support?!

Hi Justin,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your candid feedback. FLV videos with alpha channel transparency have always been supported in Storyline 360 Flash and Articulate Mobile Player output, but not HTML5 output. While we acknowledge the Flash end of life is nearing, we're committed to making sure the impact and benefit of features like this come first. You can read more about our process here.

HI Everyone,

Here i am sharing the solution which worked for me, you can use covert alpha render video to gif and import in storyline its working fine

Hi Sara - I haven't tried that

which process did you use to convert video to .gif?

Hi, how is the status of getting this feature? I am wondering if still in Articulate's timeline . Its been a year since this conversation started and Articulate's commitment to develop a solution for transparent videos in HTML5 output. We really need this feature and now Flash is dying at the end of the year more and more..

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for following up and sharing your need for supporting FLV videos with alpha channel transparency.

We don’t have plans for this feature right now, but we'll continue to monitor requests for it and update this discussion if anything changes.

Hi I just learned about 'Webm' codac which has an alpha channel and is supported by HTML5 - although on testing Storyline does not support this video format. Is this an option? https://www.webmproject.org/

We would also like to see some kind of support for alpha channel video incorporated into Storyline now that FLV is not an option.  We want to incorporate characters created in Adobe Character Animator into our Storyline courses but have no proper way of "compositing" them onto the screen at present.  Speaking from another large corporate customer, this is high on our wish list. 

Any update from the engineering team on an ETA for this feature?

I request this also.

I would also like to see this feature added.
