Transparent background video
For when the presenter needs to stand in front of something you already have.
A transparent export gives you the presenter with no background, so you can place them over your own footage, slides or a web page in whatever tool you already use.
The detail, in plain English
This is the one output that expects a second tool. If you are not going to composite it over something, a normal video is simpler and looks the same.
Not every player supports transparency, so test in the destination before you build a whole sequence around it.
What to do, step by step
- 1Confirm you need itOnly choose transparency if something else will sit behind the presenter.
- 2Produce the transparent exportSame script, same presenter, output with no background.
- 3Test in the destinationDrop it into the slide, edit or page and confirm the edges look clean.
The short version in a table
| Situation | Choose |
|---|---|
| Presenter over your own footage | Transparent |
| Presenter in the corner of a slide | Transparent |
| Standalone video for a page | Normal |
| Email or social upload | Normal |
A worked example
Worked example (illustration). An events team places a transparent presenter in the corner of a slide deck recording, so the speaker introduces each slide without covering the content.
What to watch out for
- Some players and email clients ignore transparency and show a solid block.
- Transparent files are larger, which matters for web pages.
- Placing a presenter over a busy background undoes the benefit.

Questions people ask
Do I need any video experience?
A little. Producing the file is simple, but placing it over something else happens in your own editing or presentation tool.
How much does it cost?
A transparent export uses the same finished minutes as any other video, with no surcharge on Free, £49, £149 or £499 plans.
Can I edit it afterwards?
The script can be changed and the export produced again. What sits behind the presenter is edited in the tool you composite with.
