Transparent sequence

[boreal wharf]

Hi, I want to create an overlay that later i can put over a real video using ffmpeg library, I created a video with sequence backgroundColor: "transparent" and tried to put over a video, and the bg of the video gets something like a bg black with 40-50% opacity, it's not fully transparent, is there any way to make overlays like this using remotion?

as a short addon: what i notice is that when i render a video the output has a black background is it possible to render a video and get the a transparent output video?

use this https://www.remotion.dev/docs/transparent-videos/
or export an image sequence with png format

there is also a template https://remotion.dev/templates/overlay

if im using ffmpeg second version is better right? @serene socket

well I think the best way is to do the overlaying directly in remotion
render a video and then an overlay on top

That takes too long I will render hundred of videos per hour, ffmpeg is way faster for that

I managed to get the transparent overlay but now im struggeling to put it over my video using the ffmpeg 😢
