Make videos with transparent backgrounds in KineMaster

KineMaster 7.1 is the first mobile video editing app to support HEVC with Alpha, or .mp4 videos with transparent backgrounds for Android, and joins an exclusive handful of apps that provide this feature on iOS devices. Cross-platform support for videos with transparent backgrounds makes it easy to create and share your own creations with everyone.

What is Alpha Video Editing?

HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) support for alpha channels allows videos to have transparent areas, which can be overlayed on top of other media in your KineMaster project to make truly impressive video content. Or, you can export your videos with transparent backgrounds for use in other software! This technology can be very useful in presentation software, such as Keynote, and allows ordinary users to create transparent videos for astonishing effect compositing.
