Working with Imported Graphics and Animation
This section describes two different approaches to editing with imported graphic images, depending upon whether:
  The image was imported as a Matte Key clip with an alpha channel (a keyable graphic element for video overlay).
  The image was imported as a master clip with no alpha channel (an opaque graphic element).
These alternatives apply to both single-frame graphic images and animation. In addition, you can edit imported images into sequences using standard Avid effects.
  (Windows only) AVI files cannot be imported with an alpha channel. To import animation with an alpha channel, you must use another supported format. For more information on importing graphic and animation clips, see Main Topics: Importing Files.
