I could have sworn that around the same time Cartoon Animator gained the ability to export transparent MOV files that it also gained the ability to import them as well?

However after extensively searching the feedback tracker, forum, video tutorials etc. the only thing I could find on importing transparent MOV files into Cartoon Animator is confirmation that the software doesn't, in fact, support this. See this link:

Is this true? If so, why was PopVideo Maker discontinued as a product given it is the only way to create transparent video from a non Reallusion source that will work with Cartoon Animator?

If not, I've attached system info just in case you need it to work out why transparent MOV files imported into both CA4 and 5 on my system have a black background. In every other app with transparent MOV support they work just fine.

If importing transparent MOV files is not supported can I ask this functionality be added in on the next update. It would increase CA5's usability so much without adding any additional complexity to the user interface (in fact many people, like myself, are under the impression CA5 does support importing transparent MOV files).

There are a lot of animated assets out there, for use with After Effects, Premiere Pro, and other video editors that come in the form of Transparent Mov files (such as the AE Packs sold by AE Juice) that would have even more functionality if they could be brought directly into CA5 where further animation could be applied.
