Anyone have a tutorial to play Alpha Video in BGE?
I have been asking around since the last Blender conference, I saw that some recommended to use image sequence using nodes. Since I am not an expert in BGE, I I would appreciate if someone contributes a tutorial or point me to the right link. Thanks!!!

Thanks for your reply. I really love the website that you shared. However, this tutorial is not sufficient to solve my problem in playing a video with an alpha channel (transparent background) :slight_smile:

According to my hunch, you can combine the first tutorial I gave you and one of the following to suit your needs.

Hope it helps.

Thanks, I am using only GLSL Material in our project called Flick Flock - http://www.piksel.no/tag/flick-flock. Unfortunately, I have tried all of these options before. Believe me, we tried all we can to play a video with Alpha Channel. We cannot succeed. I am making a new art installation requiring the use of some videos with transparent background. This is why I am asking around.
