- Keep a master copy: repeated exports stack small losses, so archive MP4 before batch IVF shares.
Limits
Starting point: MP4 - H.264 video with AAC audio in one file. H.264 has no alpha channel, so transparency is dropped. Audio is not supported, so only the picture carries over. Encode IVF (VP9) from MP4 at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
