[PD] mask videos

[Andres Cabrera]

Hi,
What I've found when exporting from Final Cut Pro, is that the only 
codec that keeps the alpha channel is "Animation" when using Millions of 
colors+. Anyone found another one?
If you want to mask according to a color of the image (like chroma 
keying), you can use either [pix_coloralpha] or [pix_ chroma_key], 
depending on what you need. Don't forget to put [alpha] somewhere in the 
chain to enable alpha blending, and be careful of the rendering order 
(gemhead number), because objects drawn earlier, even if in front will 
not blend correctly.

Cheers,
Andrés
