Hi all…got a quick question on alpha compositing. I'm building a text animation to use in an Authorware app and I would like to overlay the flying text flic on top of a background. It seems that in Authorware it is cheaper memorywise to lay a background on one "page" and then import the flic onto the next "page" which overlays the previous "page", rather than building the flic with background intact. Anyway…the question is; how can I get some sort of alpha compositing of the flc on the background when it is ultimately mated together in Authorware. (I am rendering to Targas with alpha on) Would a traveling matte do the trick? thanks all
