Trying to experiment with studio transparent effects using .mp4 video. I have the desired effect on the video, but the plane edges are visible, which ruins the whole effect. How can I fix this?

Are you using a Video with a Black Mask? If so assign the Video file to the Opacity channel of the Material as well. Additionally you might need to play around with the Blending Mode.
