Canonical site: https://alphapublish.com/

## Export formats

- Transparent WebM is the standard download for web playback.
- ProRes 4444 MOV with alpha for editing and compositing, for eligible verified paid clips up to 8 seconds. It uses the same processed result, without extra AI processing seconds or website Hosting. Free previews are view-only; clips longer than 8 seconds use WebM.

## Product facts

- Preview: an eligible signed-in preview of up to 3 seconds, no card. It is view-only and expires after 24 hours.
- Full processing: accepts authorized MP4, MOV, WebM or M4V within the duration, size and dimension limits displayed before processing. Current file limit: 100 MB.
- Each processed video rounds up to the next whole second. Unused purchased seconds stack and do not expire.
- A completed paid result is private and available for 7 days. Download transparent WebM without Hosting. Repeat downloads and re-exports do not use more processing seconds. Keep a local master.
- ProRes 4444 MOV export is restricted to eligible verified paid clips up to 8 seconds and uses the same processed result.
- Existing-alpha imports do not use AI background-removal seconds. The checker supports WebM VP9 alpha and MOV ProRes 4444 within its own displayed limits. Its metadata and sampled-alpha report is not a real-device playback test.
- Source imports and uploaded posters are temporary for 24 hours. Prepared private deliveries have a separate 7-day expiry shown in Workspace.
- Hosting is optional and separate: stable embed, versioned media and poster fallback for HTML, Webflow and Framer. Annual renewal requires explicit authorization. The service year begins when publication succeeds.
- Hosting expiry: 30-day online grace, then 30-day private recovery; public playback stops after grace. Files may be removed after recovery. Canceling renewal preserves the current paid period and unused processing seconds.
- Failed AI work releases reserved seconds. Successful AI work followed by preparation failure can retry preparation from the same result without another AI pass.
- No lifetime storage, unlimited traffic, universal device-compatibility or guaranteed cutout-quality promise. Preview and review your own clip.
