Gold Confetti – Portrait – MOV & MP4 Alpha- Animated Overlay

Animated Overlay File Types & Uses

We offer multiple types of animated overlays. Each has its own role in the different software and purposes. Be sure to check with your software to see which file types they allow for which function you are using in the booth software.

APNG - "Animated PNG" - This is a file that can be used with transparency as an overlay. Currently, Snappic VideoFX can use this file type.
MP4 Alpha/Overlay - This is a new file type (HEVC) that can be used with transparency. Snappic VideoFX, Touchpix, Curator Live use this.
MOV HEVC Alpha/Overlay - This is a new file type (HEVC) that can be used with transparency. Lumabooth uses this file type.
MOV - This is a transparent file type used in Windows based softwares. This will be a large file size (usually 100 MB - 2GB).
MP4 Mask - This is a two-file setup. This allows for transparency without using any special codecs and conversions. File 1. Overlay.mp4 - What you see. File two - Mask.mp4 is the black and white version of the overlay. What is black will be transparent. Snappic currently allows this.
MP4 Background. This is a file you can use with either a green screen or AI segmentation.
PNG Sequence - Photo Booth Side - Great for Photo, Boomerang, and GIF. Most photo booth software allows for this.
** Warning this file type is not for VideoFX, CuratorLive, or most 360 booth apps. To have this converted will have an edit fee added.**

Note: If you are using a Windows based machine you will not be able to preview the mp4 & mov HEVC (alpha) on any Windows based player. You will need to download Quicktime or play it on an Apple device.
