<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>As
I've been doing some green screen tests for something else I just did a
quick test with a .flv exported from Premiere. You have to select the encode
alpha channel option as detailed here
http://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/2010/07/exporting_video_with_an_alpha.html
so that the .flv includes the alpha channel. The problem is if you're using
toolkits rather than xerte I doubt you can achieve what you want without
changing some code. A couple of issues I can see...<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>1. if
you import the .flv into the video page type in toolkits it should import ok
and retain the transparency of the .flv but that page type has a white panel
behind the clip so the benefit of the green screen is lost. You can hide that
with code or remove it altogether by tweaking the model and to be honest I
think wherever the white panel is included in different XOT page types there
should be an optional property to hide it but I guess that could be something
for a future release.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>2. In
the video page type you also get the controller by default with no option to
turn it off so depending on what you're trying to achieve that may not be
desirable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>3.
Similar issues apply to swf's containing transparency e.g. the flash animation
page and image and sound page contain the white panel. However you might be
able to achieve what you want by using the column navigator page with an
optional image property added - that also allows selection of a .swf but
doesn't include the white panel so if the swf is transparent it looks as it
should.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>I
guess to summarise both toolkits and xerte support transparency in .swf .flv
and of course .png but it depends on what you're trying to achieve whether you
can do this without changing code or by using xerte rather than XOT.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
