Make Alpha Channel Videos

Alpha channel videos are videos with transparent backgrounds that allow virtual content to be seamlessly blended with the real world in web-based augmented reality (WebAR) experiences. In WebAR, these videos are used to overlay virtual characters, animations, products, or instructions onto the user's physical environment viewed through their device's camera. The alpha channel's transparency enables realistic compositing, creating immersive and interactive augmented reality scenes directly in the web browser.

Activate Your Subscription

Here are some potential reasons why you may need to upgrade your membership:

  • Increased marketing and advertising needs: If your business is growing and you need to run more marketing campaigns simultaneously, targeting a larger audience, and driving more views to your content, upgrading to a higher membership tier can accommodate these increased demands.
  • Expanded target audience: As your customer base grows or you venture into new markets, you may need to target a broader range of demographics or geographic locations. Upgrading can provide you with the ability to include more targets within each campaign.
  • Higher traffic and engagement: If your current membership limits are restricting the amount of traffic or engagement you can achieve with your campaigns or content, upgrading can remove these constraints and allow you to reach a larger audience.
  • Access to advanced features: Higher membership tiers often offer access to advanced features like custom AR content, lead capture capabilities, or other specialized tools that can enhance your marketing efforts and provide a competitive edge.
  • Improved user experience: Premium memberships often include an ad-free experience, which can improve the overall user experience for your audience and provide a more professional and polished presentation of your brand.
  • Increased ROI potential: While higher membership tiers come with a higher cost, the additional features, increased limits, and improved performance may potentially lead to a higher return on investment (ROI) by driving more leads, sales, or revenue for your business.
  • Competitive advantage: Upgrading your membership can give you access to tools and capabilities that your competitors may not have, providing you with a competitive advantage in terms of reaching and engaging with your target audience.
