Having trouble getting transparent backgrounds in ChatGPT images

I don’t have video/MP4 samples to share. My testing here was only for still-image transparency.

For video, transparency depends on the codec/container workflow supporting an alpha channel, so I wouldn’t assume ordinary MP4 output has the same behavior.

Relevant docs/context that you can check:
