yeah i was aware one could do that in a stop motion way. however i was refering more to an avi with a tranparent back.

btw saying "easy" to a frame by frame render then taking each picture together in secession in a video editing program is a bit misleading to some.

granted overall there is not a large level of difficulty- it is in no way easy- very time consuming. at any rate i had thought of that option but it is not the effect i was looking for.

thanx anyway
