Hi
Are there any way that you can play out a webm-file with alpha in CasparCG?
With the play-command CasparCG plays out the file but it doesnt recognize the alpha-channel.
As a test example-file I have used Geerts start_1080.webm from his HTML-template tutorial, that is a file that I know has alpha when it is inside a HTML-template.
Hi Markus
I do it a lot, but as you say in HTML. I have tried to do it just as an mediafile with amcp and get the same result as you. I have files that I know for sure is webm with alpha if need to try. (I made them my self).
I use webM with alpha frequently in Mello for example.

Hi D-Mo
But the problem is that the file is done in AE with with VP8 and in the settings the “Include Alpha channel” ticked.
and the result in a HTML-template
The most strange thing was that when I tried to play out the webm-file with the HTML producer it didnt use the alpha channel either.
Hyvää päivää!
Render straight (for best result) alpha from ex. Aftereffects and than i usally use ffmpeg to conform to webm
Without audio:
ffmpeg -i Blaffa_1.mov -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:v 6M -pix_fmt yuva420p -auto-alt-ref 0 Blaffa_1.webm
With audio:
ffmpeg -i Blaffa_1.mov -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:v 6M -pix_fmt yuva420p -auto-alt-ref 0 -codec:a libvorbis -qscale:a 8 Blaffa_1.webm
There is also a webm codec online, floating around somewhere, that some of the girls/guys here use.
You may have to tweek the ffmpeg to get your desired result.
