Adobe Premiere Pro 3 Methods to Export Transparent Background Video and GIF
Here are the method of exporting video and GIF animation having Transparent Background in Adobe Premiere Pro. → Watch Video Below.
Method #1
If you want to use the footage again in Premiere Pro then click Export and in export settings, select Format as QuickTime.
Choose Video Codec as Animation.
If you want to export a video or animation without audio, then turn OFF the toggle button next to Audio. After that hit the Export button.
Please note that to play it on your PC, you must install QuickTime.
Method #2
In export settings, click Preset, then select More Presets. Here choose ‘GoPro Cineform RGB 12-bit with Alpha at Maximum Bit Depth’ and click OK.
Now the preset is applied. Therefore, do not change Format or Codec settings.
Transparent video or GIF animation exported through this method, will work on most video editing software such as Premiere Pro and Filmora - but it will not play on Windows Media Player unless you install QuickTime.
Method #3 - Export GIF
If you want to play a transparent video in most players including Windows PC, then in Presets list, select Animated GIF with Transparency. All other settings will be automatically selected. Export it and you are all done.
You can re-import the exported transparent video in Premiere Pro and use any background behind it.
Do not select MP4 format because it does not support alpha or transparency.
