Still I'm not sure it could be done with an animation even on the Mac but good luck!

Is this a bug? I want to pull small animated 3D videos into Flash, but I need transparency so I can put them on top of other objects.

I'm not sure if Al Hart's RP tools does this currently. I think it may, but at any rate his NPR tools plug in will

You can set your background image to something you can edit out later (green or even magenta is often used for this)

Also you could export your model to Kerkythea as there is a clipmap rendering preset and render your animation from there. Certainly this means learning another program as well as quite a long rendering time - but at least you'd have a better result.
