Transparent Video Maker

Q: What formats support transparency?

Karadeo exports transparent video as WebM (VP8 with yuva420p) for web use, or MOV (ProRes Alpha with yuva444p10le) for professional editing software like After Effects, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.

Q: Do I need a green screen?

No. Karadeo exports a true alpha channel — transparency is encoded directly into the video file. No green screen keying is needed.

Q: Can I use the exported video in After Effects or Final Cut Pro?

Yes. Export as MOV (ProRes Alpha) for full compatibility with After Effects, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and other professional editors.

Q: Why does transparent export use more credits?

Transparent formats require PNG intermediate frames and alpha channel encoding, which increases render time. WebM Transparent costs 2× and MOV ProRes Alpha costs 4× the standard credit rate.

Export WebM or MOV with transparent background for overlays, motion graphics, and video editing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a transparent background video?

A transparent background video uses an alpha channel to make parts of the video see-through. This lets you overlay the video on top of other content in a video editor, without needing a green screen.
