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.
Thanks
Dave

Can only echo what has been requetsed so many times, to stay in thouhc with new trends/learner expectations, this really needs to be supported

Hello,
As well as all others, I'd like to chime in for this feature of a transparent BG. Or the ability to key out a green BG. I'm using the same BG as the slide in the video, but this is not ideal.

Any updates for this thread?

Still waiting for the Quicktime MOV alpha channel transparency feature. Is there a reason why this has not been added, especially after flash was no longer supported? Users have been asking for this for over a decade now.

Six years later and more people needing this feature. Does anyone have an update?

I found that Matt's Kurtin's post is a practical solution to this issue. I understand that removing an existing background color with tools like After Effects or similar and converting video formats can be time-consuming, but the effort is worthwhile. Once you've converted your MOV file to WebM for playback in Chrome, you can encode the same MOV file to HEVC directly on your Mac to ensure compatibility with iOS devices. Follow his tutorial on integrating multiple video formats within a single video tag in Storyline. Although I don't own any Apple devices to test whether HEVC playback is successful, I've attached a brief video demonstrating how WebM transparent video functions within Storyline.

So need this, as Justin V mentioned above. Need video codecs that have transparency (alpha channel) to be supported in Storyline. Please. Or include effects that emulate the need.

Almost 7 years and still no option for transparent video...

I'm going to have to chime in also and express my disgust that it's been 7 years and Articulate has clearly ignored this request. They tell us to post suggestions and requests for features and capabilities, yet apparently, they get completely ignored and never put on the development schedule. With as big this company is and as much money as this company makes, I find it hard to believe there isn't enough staff and development hours that can be dedicated to this request.
I too have a need to import transparent background videos using Vyond content, but Storyline won't import videos with transparent alpha channel.If after 7 years of requests and we still don't have it, I highly doubt we ever will.

if this page is up to date
Vyond Studio cannot export transparent video (mp4 don't support transparency)
