Can't find the right format?

In the Download modal, you can choose your format manually or download a ZIP with all formats included.

Troubleshooting

Black background instead of transparency?

Your editor doesn't support that format. Check the recommended format for your editor above, or try downloading the Green Screen version and use Chroma Key.

Colors look washed out?

ProRes can display colors slightly different in some editors. If available, try using WebM format instead (works great in Filmora, Blender, OBS, Camtasia, Movavi).

Green edges after chroma key?

Lower the Intensity/Tolerance slider in your chroma key settings. You can also try Edge Feather or Edge Shrink if available. This is normal for soft glow effects.

File won't import?

Your editor doesn't support that format. Try a different format from the Download modal — you can choose manually or download the ZIP with all formats included.

ProRes file is too large?

ProRes 4444 is uncompressed for maximum quality (typically 10-30MB for 3 seconds). Use WebM instead if your editor supports it — much smaller with same quality.

Overlay looks pixelated?

Make sure you downloaded the correct resolution matching your project. Check your project settings — for best quality, use ProRes 4444 format.
