Video with transparent background in Storyline 360
Hi guys,
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. ...
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

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)
