Great, Thanks! I will give it a shot just using one frame. It should have fairly the same effect, I think. But I am just confussed, because the tutorial went through in detail how to make the movie, and then use the movie as the bubble. But still, it didnt work. I also watched another tutorial that was through particle playground that used a movie to replace the particles. I know my movie used an alpha channel, but it might have been lost rendering it as a .mov. Am I on track with this at all?
