Did you render the *.avi as fullframe/uncompressed (not to be confused with fullscreen)? To play the *.avi as a movie object on the canvas, it can be rendered as an UNCOMPRESSED *.avi, which will allow Lyric to see its alpha
channel.

If you use an *.mov, Lyric can not see the Alpha Channel at the
moment. Currently, we are working on getting Lyric to recognize the
alpha channel of an *.mov file. But if you use *.mov, it needs to be
square, rectangular or fullscreen (not for too long).

I hope this helps clear some things up!

Cheers!
