[comp.sys.amiga.graphics] Animation with Color 0

squid@carroll1.cc.edu (Craig C Schanning) (05/17/91)

I recently purchased a genlock device (MiniGen), and would like to
use animation programs with it.  I am using MovieSetter, and my
problem is that I think it is impossible to make a cell
containing color 0.  Color 0, in a cell, becomes transparent and
displays the background (or cell behind it).  That means the only
place my input video can be displayed is on the background.  In
Anim format can you make a cell in color 0?  Is there any
animation programs that will let me do this?  One of the effects
I wish to do is a spotlight effect--a black background, then
color 0 circles floating around displaying the VCR input in just
those circles.  Any help or Suggestions will be useful.  If any
one has neat Genlock effects, I would appreciate it if you told
me how you did them.  Thanks!!
