Exporting WebM with a transparent background and glow

So, I made alerts for my Twitch channel awhile back that were perfect, but now I can't remember how I exported them. I want a WebM that when exported it supports varying levels of opacity of transparency so that it exports looking like this:

export like this.png

Not like this:

ends up like this.png

I need it to be WebM so that's it supported by the website I'm uploading my alerts to (Streamlabs).

I'm using Adobe Media Encoder to export it, here are the settings I thought would work:

export settings 1.png

Let me know how I can make this work.

Just to clarify: I want the background to be transparent and have a glow still on some objects.

I just want to vouch this fix. Got a webm with alpha. File was still a bit bigger than expected. (3.2mb) on a 2 second transition, but I am sure I could have tweeked it. My assumption here is the author has not updated the adobe exchange to the latest version and some change in the version is hiding the alpha checkbox. By going back to v14.3 and using legacy install from creators website I was able to get the desired result. Thank you for the fix. I'll stay on this version until I know there is

Also YES, webm does support alpha channels, I've done this for multiple streamers including rebrands of my own streeam 5 times using webm it DOES support alpha, so i'm sorry Vinay_D you need to update your responce as it's giving false information on the codec. Even with the base settings of being in 4.2.0 rather than 4.4.4 all my exports when using the Include Alpha. Also as far as "use a format that supports it." Webm for Streaming is the lightest and results in lowest latency for streaming in terms of data transfer for streaming a lot of the other alpha supporting codecs are too high in file size to transfer and will cause skipped frames and or just laggy stream.

Out of curiosity, how do you roll back to the 14.3 from 14.3.1? I'm having the same issue, exporting to webm, but cant get the alpha channel to work because i need webm for streams

You go to the cloud app. Click the three dot menu next to Me and select other versions. Click the version you want and it will uninstall the current and replace it.SharedScreenshot.jpg

I was attempting to do this on my end and unfortunately this fix is no longer working. Must have been an update?

Do you mean seeing the "Include Alpha Channel" box? Whenever Media Encoder updates it keeps disappearing. I have to keep re-installing the codec whenever there is a new update in order for that box to come back again. Try that? (Annoying, I know, *sigh*)

I too am confused by this. I just tried to reinstall the webm plugin for Premire and still the "Include Alpha Channel" box is missing. Not sure what I'm doing different to get this to show up again.
