I'm trying to export a video to have a transparency layer. These are the settings I have right now. Everytime I export it it keeps with a the black background which i want transparent. The one I did get correctly working only worked in an mpeg format. My client wanted it quicktime or something a bit smaller so that it would work with his obs display. He's trying to get it to run as a loop over a twitch stream.  Theres an animation over the T in the middle and everything thats is black in the picture is supposed to be transparent I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  Is there a driver I should have updated? Also it says quicktime is goin away soon so what should i do for that too>?

You can just install the QT codec.

The option 32 bits has been changed to 8bpc+alpha which is the same.

Quicktime with animtion should do just fine.

Transparency normally shows as black

but you can turn on the Transparency Grid under the wrench in the Program monitor.
