Heya tl:

After taking a closer look at the streamlabs link, it looks like you'll have to go with an animated GIF with transparency.

If you render a movie from AE at Best Settings Lossless with Alpha, you can open that in Photoshop and then use the legacy Save for Web option to save an animated GIF with transparency.

I think the longest duration that PS will export with an animated GIF is 500 frames.

Ae Comp added to Render Queue with the "Best Settings" template and "Lossless with Alpha" template.

Save for Web (Legacy) window after opening movie in Ps and choosing File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy)....

Resulting animated GIF with transparency.

P.S. If you decide you're going to create animated GIFs frequently from AE, definitely check out GIFGun for After Effects (GifGun - aescripts + aeplugins - aescripts.com​).

In order to render a video file to the PNG codec for video (with or without transparency), you’ll have to downgrade to a version of After Effects that still uses QuickTime as a system driver for time based media.  After Effects CC2017 or older will work.  If on Windows, you’ll need to have the QuickTime components installed as well.  If on Mac, you’re good to go.

As you’ve noticed, most video CODECs do not support transparency.  As such, it’s unfortunate that remdering to PNG is no longer supported in CC2018 (an issue attributable to Apple, not Adobe).

Impossible to say anything. you have not made an effort to provide actually usable info like exact settings, version info and whatnot.

Hello,

isn't it more a question of streamlabs, so that you should try all the hints in your cited link? Or - because the thread is already closed - you could open there a new one.
