AVI vs FLASH: Watch Face Displays in FLASH Animaiton but not in AVI animation Why?

[Scotty]

Hi,
In Xara Animations Frame designated as background is the background, subsequent layers are overlays to get the effect you after.
mY rndering of your clock as xar file rendering as avi works.

Yep, that's the ticket Jim

Scotty's frame setup works for AVI animations, thanks Scotty.

But then causes errors for FLASH animations.

Hmmm....frame settings should work the same for both formats shouldn't they?

[Soquili]

Actually No they should not work the same, John. AVI does not support tweening.

[jclements]

but the frame options should work the same?

[Soquili]

You are probably wondering why using the background option does not work for the AVI export, are you not?

AVI does not support the transparency required for a single frame to be viewed beneath all the other frames. This is why those that wish to have a transparent background for AVI must use Chroma Key and software that supports that ability.
