Use images and videos with transparency (transparent .png / .mov) in projects

The challenge
Some elements only look right when their transparency is preserved — logos, badges, cut-out graphics, or a clip that's meant to sit on top of the footage. Customers already have this media with transparency built in: a transparent .png, or a .mov with an alpha channel. Today there's no reliable way to bring those files into a project and keep their transparency, so instead of a clean cut-out you end up with a solid background box around the element.

Our approach
Let's add support for using image and video files that contain transparency in a project — a transparent .png, or a .mov with an alpha channel — with the transparency preserved all the way through, both in the editor preview and in the final export.

Expected impact

• Place logos, badges and cut-out graphics cleanly over your video, with no solid background box.
• Reuse transparent assets you already have (transparent .png, alpha-channel .mov) instead of recreating them from scratch.
• What you see in the editor matches the final export — transparency is preserved end to end.
