Hi James

In addition to what Michael wrote:

- If you're adding a mask to a movie, unless you can add alpha to the movie file (i'm not aware of a format that supports it, but perhaps there is one)

We just happened to need to do the very same thing recently. As I was preparing to make a CI filter to make a dynamic mask image from a monochrome matte movie, our video guy handed me a QuickTime using the Animation codec which had a built-in alpha channel that just worked with a billboard set to Over. Job done, if you can bear the codec that is.

Other codecs no doubt support alpha channels and you need a way to render such movies in the first place, we used After Effects but I'm sure there are more possibilities out there.


Ade.
