Can You Use Video For More Than A Background?
« on: May 01, 2006, 09:26:00 AM »

Can you lair video like you would with png images or jpg images. I'm updating my stealth mode skin and I'm going to make an animated background in adobe after effects, but I also want to layer some video elements on top of .png elements so that I can get all my layers right to get the look I want.

So the layers would go, from background to foreground,

Video (background)
.png (overlay)
Video (smaller size)
.png(more overlay's)

Damn, oh well.

Yeah, I've been working over my last stealth mode skin (the blue and black one). Not really a new skin per say, but it does look a lot different than it used to. However I'll now have to settle for just making a background video instead of animating the rest of it, unless I can screw around with some of the static layers to accomplish what I want, but I doubt it.

Thanks for the reply.

Here's a little preview, I'm going to animate the background (the blue circuit board), but I also wanted to animate where the menu items will go (they eye). But because of these lairing issues I probably can't do the eye, which sucks.
