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. ...

Happy to Alencar!
Recording the video:
- I used Zoom as it allows me to replace my background, but you can probably replicate in other video conferencing software as well.
- You could also use a green screen, key out the background, and replace with a solid color. To allow you to more cleanly blend the video background with the Storyline project background, you would want to replace the background digitally vs. using a solid cloth or paper color backdrop during a video shoot.
Working in Storyline:
- Insert your recorded video with the replaced background color into your Storyline project.
- Adjust the background color of your Storyline project to match the video background color.
- You must preview/publish your project now, to ensure the background color actually matches/aligns in your final output. Make any publishing adjustments to video and image quality setting now to ensure an accurate color match.
- Depending on what you're doing with the video and background in your project, you can also use matching color shapes to blend the background, when/if needed.
- From there, the video asset can be treated almost like a regular object in your project.
