Alpha transparency in VideoFile module

[doleo]

I've got some transparent (alpha channel) HEVC videos that I'm trying to use. They appear transparent in other software, but they're not transparent when I load them in the VideoFile module.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

The VideoFile module does support some codecs with alpha, but maybe not HEVC.

Ok, anyone know a codec in particular that works? Animated PNG files don't work properly, either. They take a very long time to reset to the 1st frame, while looping.

By far the most efficient codec to use in the VideoFile module is Hap, which has an Alpha option. https://hap.video/using-hap.html
