I'm working on Rolling Thunder 2 and feel it's my best work yet.. Can anyone answer this stupid question?
The flv is 640x480. I've created a png overlay at 672x512 (same resolution + 16 pixels all round). I believe this is correct. However, if I select the image from Hypertheme, it just ignores the image. I've ensured alpha channel is set etc...
Kind regards

Sure bill, here it is attached... Note, the white is set as alpha (depending on which package you use.. *Insert* teach to suck eggs... lol)..
Thx
*Edit*... Lol the white is black in the browser... Lol

Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. Does it make a difference?

Well I am unsure if HS supports color assigned transparency. I brought it into PS and deleted the white so its a true transparent window. Check it out and let me know if it works. You might need to switch to Gimp or PS (if you can get ahold of it) for these type of things unless Corel supports true transparency.

Bill,
You are a kind man.. Works perfectly. I've noticed that I can load other artwork and they work. I believe it's due to the original being set to 32Bits. I'll play with this later.
As for true Alpha channel. I didn't know there was a difference to 'selecting' a colour as alpha. I will get the manual out...
Thanks for your time.
