Things I did: * Read Unity's [Video transparency support](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/VideoTransparency.html) doc, confirmed it's supported for Video Player using 2 formats: WebM/VP8 and Apple ProRes 4444 * Took [this footage](https://www.videvo.net/video/overlay-hearts-with-alpha-/7811/), confirmed that it indeed has an Alpha (in After Effects) * saved it to .mov with "Apple ProRes 4444" codec and to .webm with [WebM for Premiere](https://www.fnordware.com/WebM/) codec * also tried converting the source .mov to .webm with ffmpeg: `ffmpeg -i colour_hearts_720p.mov -c:v libvpx -b:v 3M -auto-alt-ref 0 -pix_fmt yuva420p -metadata:s:v:0 alpha_mode="1" hearts.webm` * confirmed the resulting videos indeed have the alpha channel (imported again to AE, tried [opening .webm in Chrome](https://i.imgur.com/swPVCuo.jpg)) Link to converted WebM video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oNj2LkCbAhjnkVcP94FSSClUYUPMCPtl/view The results: * ProRes 4444 video appeared as glowing white: https://i.imgur.com/gSjG2EP.jpg * both WebM videos weren't transparent: https://i.imgur.com/YZjiTiL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/amyyS4S.jpg Positon settings I used: ``` [Placement] CustomPosition = (0.0, 2.0, 2.5) CustomRotation = (0.0, 0.0, 0.0) CustomScale = 4 ``` Is it possible that this can be fixed by checking [Keep Alpha](https://docs.unity3d.com/uploads/Main/Video-10.png) in Unity? Or maybe it's caused by Glow and Lighting effects, in which case, is is possible to somehow disable them?
