Yeah, so now for the next problem... (sigh) When it's just the video in the timeline, it plays correctly and renders correctly. but as soon as I add another video track and put the transparent .png overlay in, when the video plays it has frames where the overlay is displayed but instead of transparent it's "black" background. I don't know if it's the absence of a frame from the video track or if it forgot that the png is transparent for a frame. It happens several frames per second, so the video sits there and "flashes" black as it plays and as it renders. Whoever watches this video would go blind from the strobing. All I want to do is put a couple overlays on this video. does it really have to be this hard? Is there a *good* web page/site out there that covers most of these type of issues, and how to work around them? Thanks!
