Rendering a transparent background in Adobe Animate is easy when using an Alpha channel. You will first want to go to file export video /media. Click on the text box that says "ignore stage color". This allows you to render an alpha channel. Next, change the format from H.264 (or whatever your default preset is) and change it to Quicktime. Next, change your preset to GoPro Cineform12RGB with alpha channel or Apple ProRes 4444 with alpha channel. That will do it!

  • God bless you. I spent over an hour at work trying to make a transparent video for an animation that took me 2 minutes to make. Your video should have been the first result, it would have saved me so much damn time!

    Thank you livesaving, thought I was about to go crazy. You would think that first checkmark should be enough
  • @danielmee
    Sweet, thanks πŸ‘πŸΌ I just figured, you know, you click a box that says to make it transparent and so it would work. I even knew about the alpha codec problem from other software but didn't cross my mind cause, you know, it's a very specific check box!! 😜
  • And in the end I only needed to hit one checkbox aaaargh btw, if you are intending to export an image sequence (which is sometimes better for editing) I recommend using tiff thanks for the video
