What OS and GEM version?

On OSX the pix_film/movie object defaults to YUV.  Send a 'colorspace RGBA'
message to the object before loading the clip if you need the alpha from the
clip.  pix_image uses RGBA by default.  If you have problems with PNG the
try uncompressed or TIFF.

Also, put the alpha object after the pix_objects.
