I do not have Flash software to work with for creating videos/animations, but I do have Windows Movie Maker, Photoshop, and Adobe Captivate.Photoshop only produces static images, so that doesn't help.Windows Movie Maker outputs WMVs, which do not support an alpha channel, so that won't work if you want the video to sit on top of non-video content.Captivate allows video elements inside Captivate movies, but I don't believe that it will export a transparent Flash file.However, Flash does support an alpha channel for video and entire FLAs. So, my recommendation is to ask for some extra budget and purchase Flash. Even better, purchase CS3 Production Suite and have the transparency carry through the entire workflow of video production, encoding and publishing.There are tutorials on the video and Flash end of this solution at: http://www.pjenkins.co.uk/blog/index.php/2006/09/22/transpar ent-flash-video-for-a-website/ or, just the Flash bit at: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn _14201Hope this help,David
