Transparent Video Player And Shader Collection

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)
• Platform: Any platform that supports Unity VideoPlayer and URP shaders
• Unity Version: 2021.3+ recommended
