In your Still Store CAPTURE/EDIT menu, use the SHOW DETAILS to jog through your clips; you can mark in's & outs. If you press the SAVE METAdata button, these in's & outs will become part of the clip information...otherwise you set in's & outs on an effect-by-effect basis. In the Still Store PLAY menu, you'll see a START AT KF button. having this active on a KF cause the clip to play at that KF. Then it's just a matter of keying the channels over your background & building a timeline that triggers the transition as well as the clip. Alternatively, you could build a macro that hits the AUTO TRANS & presses the [>] button at the bottom of the Still Store PLAY or CAPTURE/EDIT menu. One tip: Obviously capturing a V/K Pair chews up twice the memory. I bring in the original animation & key it over green (or blue) on an M/E & capture this as a Video Only clip. It uses 1/2 of the memory, and the Kalypso's Chroma Keyers are good enough to pass shadows & transparencies. You may need to adjust a little Secondary Supression to get rid of any green fringing, but this clip technique works well.
