How to take an animated morph like this -



and place it as a seperate layer on a ssimilarly morphed animated background like this -



I'm using a free morphing program - Sqirl Morph - which can output as gifs [for a short sequence], flash, or avi.
I could buy a better one like Fantamorph.

Not quite the ideal of picking up and placing cycling animations, but I've just come across this regarding Anime Studio; -
"The best image format to use with Anime Studio is PNG. PNG files have high quality, good compression, and support full alpha channels for transparency effects. Although PNG is the preferred format for use with Anime Studio, you can also use JPEG, BMP, Targa, or GIF images.

Image layers can also be used to bring external movies into Anime Studio. Instead of selecting a still image, select a movie file when creating a new image layer. Anime Studio can import QuickTime (Windows and Mac OS) or AVI (Windows only) movies as image layers. When importing a movie file, Anime Studio will use the movie's alpha channel (if present) to composite the movie with other elements in the scene."

I'll give the trial a go

So, What other relatively cheap program can I use to work with building collages of animated layers?
I'm using PS Elements 3 as an image editor.


Thanks!
