ProRes 4444: Transparent Overlays for Professional Editing
ProRes 4444 is an Apple codec used in post-production. The four 4s stand for full-resolution luma, both colour channels and an alpha channel. In short, it is the format editors reach for when an overlay has to stay transparent without surprises.
Video Effect Vibe exports every asset as ProRes 4444 as well as WebM, so one overlay serves both your edit and your stream.

10Why choose ProRes 4444
- Alpha is supported in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro
- High colour fidelity, so gradients and glows stay smooth
- Frame-accurate scrubbing, which is friendlier to editing than long-GOP codecs
The trade-off is file size
ProRes is an editing codec, so files are larger than WebM. For short overlays of a few seconds this rarely matters. For anything going into OBS or onto a web page, WebM is the lighter choice.
How to use a ProRes 4444 overlay
Import the .mov file, drop it on a track above your footage and trim it. The alpha channel is read automatically. If you ever see a black background, check that the clip was exported as ProRes 4444 with alpha and not a format without it.
