       Hi there,
       First of all thanks for the great job you did on Buildar Pro.
       Would you please let me know if there is a way to have a
       transparent movie (.MOV) into buildar pro?
       Awaiting for your reply,
       Nouri

       hi Nouri, I've tried to load some examples but unfortunately
       file size is too large. However what I suggest is load gifs
       instead. Import them as image files. I use Microsoft GIF
       Animator to convert my .avi movies. I can email to you the gif I
       uploaded to Facebook recently and video of result

       Hi Nouri, transparent videos are not possible at the moment, but
       we are looking into including this soon.  It's a very requested
       feature.
       What Andy mentions would work well in the meantime.  Thanks for
       the workaround suggestion Andy btw.
       Best regards,

       I am having some trouble with transparent flashing on my gifs.
       Could you post a link to your video so I could check it out?

       I actually figured out a decent method for using png sequences
       in an fbx. By assigning each image to a plane, showing each
       plane for around 5 frames, then moving the frames dramatically
       off screen (-50000Y) I achieve a decent transparent animation.
       I will admit that I have the benefit of using some pretty beefy
       hardware with this method.
       note: do not leave things at zero on the z axis, took me a whole
       day to figure that out.
