Cryptonite - 2D animation compositing in PD Pro - tutorial

Here's a new tutorial for users of PD Pro or users of PD Particles (available here at GG) wondering if they should upgrade to PD Pro:

It's a commonly found thing: you have some animated background clip, such as an AVI file or image sequence, and another image sequence that was rendered in 3D with alpha and plain background. The alpha contains a selection mask or opacity channel, indicating the parts that are visible and which are not, per pixel.

You can use PD Pro to composite with blue screen, green screen, edges (black on white) and other techniques. This one has an alpha channel in each image. I hope it helps.
