Exporting movies with transparency to alpha channel video
Alpha channel video supports transparency, allowing you to save animated logos, lower-third graphics, and other objects and animations as video files that you can share and reuse as overlays in other video projects. For example, if you create a series of videos, you can overlay the start of each video with an animated title that identifies you or your company as the creator of the series. Pinnacle Studio uses the CineForm MOV format for alpha channel support.
