💡 With Unity Recorder you can record in-game footage with alpha using the Apple ProRes 4444 XQ (ap4x) setting. Just make sure to also enable Alpha Processing in your URP Asset. Set the output to a RenderTexture on your camera and hit record.

This took me a while to figure out, so hopefully someone finds this useful.

Steam pages now support webm (with transparency) in place of gifs which are massive and quality-restricted. Webm is a tiny format with excellent quality. Once you have your .mov from the Recorder output, use MOV to WEBM Converter (Nerd or Die) to convert the file to webm for your Steam page.

When I'm crafting a new social media video, I'll often just go into Play Mode, set up the shot, turn off extras like HUD UI, adjust the scene for the intended display aspect ratio, and then use some of the modular animation/tween scripts and triggers to bring it all to life.

Timeline is another great tool for this but I find just throwing it all together in play mode in one go the most effective.
