Hello everyone,

I have a problem with rendering a project.

I want to export my comp to a .webm (for streamlab) to keep the transparency (alpha). I see my transparency in AE and I check the box "include alpha channel" in Media Encoder but the result is with a black background and no transparency.

When i render in .mov i see the transparency and even by trying to convert the .mov file into a .webm file it doesn't work and the transparency dissapear.

Any ideas how to fix this ?

Here is some capture of my files (AE view, Media Encoder settings, .mov, .webm)

Error or problem

Almost all media players display transparency as black. Transparency is not usable unless the app you are using to playback the video supports it. It takes another 8-bit channel and most media players are RGB only.
