Transparent Videos Please

Hi,

 

Envato has a filter to search for transparent videos. They download as transparent MOV files. No exrta work to mask out backgrounds. It's SO convenient.

 

Please add transparent videos to the Adobe Stock library.  They're so much easier to worth with for designers without as much video experience. Placing transparent videos over an image immediately adds dimension without doing a ton of extra work.

 

Adobe stock options like these or these say they're transparent, but when you download them they have a solid background. It's annoying.

The only method left is to make videos with green or blue screen instead of the Alpha channel

The problem for now is, that Adobe does not officially support transparency in videos, wich is a shame as the technology is there. But inofficially, you can submit assets that have an alpha channel and as a 4k video they really have. Just, as Adobe creates from the 4k video the HD video, any alpha chanel in the asset gets lost. So HD video has no alpha channel. The contributor is innocent here, except that they uploaded an asset with features that are not officially supported.
