Unity does not natively support true transparent videos—transparency typically appears as a black background unless complex custom shaders or multi-pass video methods are used.
Transparent Video Player & Shader Collections solves this problem by providing a ready-to-use, optimized transparent video playback system built specifically for URP.
This plugin enables transparent video playback through a custom shader-based pipeline, real-time transparency control, chroma-key background removal, and a set of additional visual shader effects.
It also includes a curated collection of essential shader effects with demo scenes for quick and easy integration.
Works on URP only.
Requirements
- Unity Render Pipeline: Universal Render Pipeline (URP)
