I can't seem to produce a movie with transparent background -- it always turns out black. If I had a background with (let's say) some stripes of various colors on a black background and exported as compressed AVI with transparency, what would be transparent? I assume it would be the black, but since all my exports show a black background and no transparency, I am not sure what's wrong.

I think the problem is due to the codec you use, you have to search an avi encoder with transparency fonctionality.

I'm using Huffyuv 2.1.1.1 -- does that have transparency functionality?

Yes.

I never had any luck with compressed videos and transparency. In fact, I never used compressed video options. I always used uncompressed for transparency. If I want some compression without losing quality, I select the numbered frames options with PNG files being loss-less.
