i am using animated textures. i would like to store them as single files rather than series of images. the only problem is they have alpha channels. what is my best option for a movie format that supports alpha channels. i use aftereffects, combustion, lightwave, and 3dmax, so whatever i use, it needs to be universal.

thanks for any help,
crazy homeless guy
