objective c - iPad Video with Transparency

Question

is it possible to have a QuickTime video with alpha layer (transparency) play on top of a static dynamic background UIView (i.e. a view that changes occasionally) on the iPad?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Just to clear up the misinformation, you can't use a video with an alpha channel using the built in video logic in iOS. You can create a Quicktime movie encoded with the Animation codec and load the video into a view or layer using AVAnimator. What you can't do is create a H264 video with an alpha channel, that is simply is not supported by iOS.
