Hello,
Every time I try to export/render a video animation as an mp4 it plays with a black screen. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

All black or is just the background black. Video does not support transparent backgrounds like amimated Gif.

I'm having a similar issue- the screen is just completely black (but it plays for the correct amount of time)

Also dealing with this issue. Correct time but black screen. I rendered a shorter video earlier today and it worked just fine. It was saved as an mp4. I have tried changing the size, preset, format, nothing seems to work. I would love a hand. I have exported heftier files in the past through photoshop, which I use to animate, but I have never had this problem. The video is only 30 secs.

hey
had this problem all night and its been so frustrating :')
I think ive figured out through process of elimination with other successful exports that the reason mine was doing it was that -
I didnt have a background layer underneath everything that was white in pixels / not transparent. So yeah , adding a white pixel background layer below everything worked for me. I know in the future I will just be starting my PS animation documents with a white background instead of transparency.
Now theyre all exporing fine.
not sure why or how this works as I am such a beginner but hope this helps someone!

Thank you! Am also a beginner.
I was trying to export a video from Photoshop as a GIF and one of the video layers was just a black screen when exporting but it the video played for the correct amount of time.
Adding a layer at the bottom with a solid color fixed my issue when exporting, there was no longer a black screen. I didnt use any transparency or effects in my video. I don't know why this fixed the issue but in the future I'll just add a solid color underneath videos.
