My problem is that I have a Movie Sprite, but the sprite has a background that is black when I try to change it to a format that Ren'Py supports. Is there a way to fix it so that the background is transparent instead?
Sorry, I don't know where to ask this.

Re: Movie Sprites with Transparent Background?
The documentation says a movie sprite must consist of two movie files, the movie that provides the color and the movie that provides the alpha channel. Do you have both the movie and the mask file? The mask file is the one that would make the background transparent.

Ah, that clears things up a bit. How do you make the movie that provides the alpha channel?

I’m not experienced with creating animations and video editing. I imagine you’d create it in the same program you used to create the initial video.
