The video dialog gets a "Transparent background" checkbox, remembered like the camera's. With it ticked, every frame leaves out the gradient and dot grid, and the export is a QuickTime Animation .mov: lossless ARGB, 30 fps, which keeps the transparency in video editors. The format came from compositing the same clip over green in the editors on this PC (ADR 0007). VP9 WebM drew half-transparent pixels solid in DaVinci Resolve; ProRes 4444 broke in Clipchamp; QuickTime Animation was right in both. Half-transparency matters here: utility areas are translucent and transitions fade. The encoder and muxer are plain Dart, so desktop and the browser write the same file without ffmpeg or WebCodecs (which refuses alpha). The MP4 muxer's box writer is shared: Mp4H264Muxer's output is unchanged. A keyframe every two seconds keeps the file small (about 0.16 MB a second), and the last frame is a keyframe because Clipchamp ends the clip at its last one. Frames are read back with straight alpha; premultiplied colour would darken every half-transparent pixel. The preference is a new AppPreferences field (22) whose default, off, is the old behavior; the compatibility test reads a record without it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
