The gist of this discussion is that PD doesn't support any transparency when producing videos. None at all.

However, you seem to be looking for a way to use your custom media as a transition in a PD project but it actually isn't transparent. Is that the case?

If so , you'll need to chroma key out the black background to make it invisible, then place that clip on a lower track so that it will be shown "in front of" the video or image on the track above. When you produce the project, the clips will be blended together and there's no need for transparency when producing.

Essentially thats what I'm trying to do but can't chroma out the black because black is a heavy color in the media. Seems like I'll have to find a way to put it on a green layer so I can chroma it.

Thanks for your response

Honestly I'm kind of lost on following whats in this thread, but I am also having a similar issue. I have a short clip/stinger transition that I'm trying to use and the bg of the clip is black and doesn't act well as a transition.

This is custom made media so I don't know how or if I can format it into the unique format PD uses for its transitions.

I have tried these file formats:
mov
webm
mp4

I'm not sure if thats the issue but I really can't find much help for why PD isn't supporting the transparancy of the video file. Any help plz?
