Video with transparent background in Storyline 360

I don't mean to sound ungrateful for the awesome program Storyline is, but I've found threads from 8 years ago asking for this feature.  Loss of Flash support has been knowledge for a long time now.

This seems like such a basic feature, even POWERPOINT supports movies with alpha, so sad after all this time this hasn't been added.  I use alpha with Powerpoint all the time, just seems inexcusable there isn't Storyline support after all this time and all these requests.  See my attached file showing alpha movie support in Powerpoint.

I see a ton of requests for an alpha video feature that I could very much benefit from as well.  Video content creators can really bring their storyline lessons to the next level with alpha video and the lack of support really handcuffs us as content creates to just have such basic animation when we know we can do so much more.  PLEASE add support for:
Quicktime MOV - ProRes 4444 codec with alpha
Quicktime MOV - Animation codec with alpha
AVI - with alpha

Hi Justin!

I appreciate you adding these details and sharing the need for this feature! I understand how supporting alpha video would be impactful for video content creators to elevate their Storyline courses. That's helpful to know!  I've added your comments to our feature report to share with our team. I'll update you in this discussion when we have more information about supporting alpha video in Storyline.

Given the thread history - it doesn't necessarily look like another voice saying "My company needs this," will have a lot of impact. However, let me throw my vote in here.  Given the types of eLearning we are doing, my company really needs to have alpha channel / Transparency supported by Storyline. :)

It almost 2020, when will Storyline 360 support alpha channel transparency other then Flash such as H.264, WMV,or QuickTime? 

I want to use Adobe Character Animate to create transparent animated video and import them into a Storyline project. Will this ever be possible?

Adding in my vote - this feature needs to be in since Flash is no longer supported

I'd also like this feature to be implemented as soon as possible please :)

Hi Dave,

FLV videos with alpha channel transparency are supported in Storyline 360's Flash and Articulate Mobile Player (AMP) output. This article showcases how the videos may be re-encoded based on the output you're using. 

Hi Alyssa,

Where I work we are no longer going to be publishing using any Flash output. My question is then would it be possible for SL to recognize published video with an alpha Chanel from Adobe Premier or Aftereffects for a better compatibility and satisfaction standpoint.

Hello,

I have already produced a video with no background but when I import it on Storyline 360 the background is black. Either mp4 or quicktime file, both fail to produce the desired result. Any help please?
